Just came across a photograph that appears to be the very same section of the Mt. McKinley range I photographed in 1965!

I took three of those slides and created an oil painting (15 3/4" x 19 1/2") composite of them.
The foreground was not green then, but had lovely mauvey/peachy flowers abounding by a stream meandering through the landscape; the stream mirroring the purplish range.

It created disharmony at home when I did it in 1972, though. My husband had decided he wanted to do oil paintings and invested in the requisite equipment. Did 3 or 4 paintings while outside in the carport, and the neighborhood children gathered around and laughed..:))
He put them out at the curb for garbage pickup, crushed...

The next week I had a day off from work, and taking the 3 slides, thought I'd give painting a try, and painted away from 9:30 until 4 p.m. - the only free time I had before the children were home from school.

It turned out a reasonable facsimile, and he never painted again - nor did I.
Let there be Peace in the Valley - LOL

Here is that range line.
You cannot discern it very well here,
but behind the dark line,
the taller white peaks soar to the sky:
