That is the summit of Denali (Mount McKinley) at 20,320'. The whole expedition report is also in the blog with lots of pictures.

Thanks for the trail report, by the way that is a clean wiring job on the trailer:ylsmoke:

Thanks! In the place that I camped I found evidence of someone else who may have had a trailer and definitely had electrical problems! There were two shallow holes dug in a typical trailer owner leveling shortcut and on the ground there were pieces of burnt PVC sheathed electrical wire and a banged up battery clamp! :elkgrin:

That is something that I really wanted to avoid.

There are some stone restroom buildings in the main park that are still in use. There were also a lot of folks who were employed and later became quite famous.
