Thank you very much! I had been familiar with gazing at the Nevada “big hills,” and the sight of Alps like peaks in other states. Nothing, however, absolutely nothing had prepared me for the sight of Mt. McKinley. One Sunday morning, ages ago, found me sitting next to the pilot of a 6 seater propeller plane, heading closer and closer to the mountain’s face until it filled our field of vision. We went only half way up its height - no one was in the mood to risk passing out going over the top in the unpressurized cabin. We discussed it, though! LOL!

On a clear day, you can see Mt. McKinley from Anchorage.
That is a nice video. Lots of great scenery.
I am in the San Fernando valley in California and the “mountain” we have is called Oat mountain which is part of the Santa Susana Mountains. It is 3,747 feet.
