Flying to Alaska | Denali thru Clouds Denali tends to be shrouded in clouds quite often. This image was captured enroute to Mount McKinley Airport; now called Denali Airport. Landing at Denali Airport took flying close to mountains and compensating for heavy downdrafts at the runway threshold. A few days later, the uphill takeoff cleared hills southwest of the airport by a hundred feet or so. For the whole story with all images, see Flying to Alaska | a 7 Image Story.
