Later on in the flight, we descended into the valleys to the north and east of Denali. Unfortunately, the clouds blocked our view from its peak, but after looking up 12,000 of its 20,310 feet, I think I need more preparation before making that hike. This past year, 810 people attempted the summit, with 30% of them reaching the summit. The pilot was comparing the hike to hiking Everest, and he said in some manners it is more difficult than Everest. One day I might try and summit it.
