Yes, that was just amazing. Several of the photos were uploaded from my smart phone at enormous resolution, so I've re-sized them for easier viewing.
Here's a photo of Wonder Lake, just south of Quigley Ridge in Kantishna, Alaska. The nearest paved road and utilities are 90 miles to the east. The lake is about 1 mile long and the valley is about 30 miles across. The river you see beyond the lake is the McKinley River, passing through what is called the McKinley River Bar: series of braided streams through glacial runoff. The water is flowing from left to right (east to west). Behind that in the clouds is Mt. McKinley. About 25 miles to the east a huge glacier traverses out of the mountains and forms the headwaters of the river. From the location in the photo the river then travels westward about 50 miles, then north about 100 to merge into the Yukon River.
