I lived in Alaska for a year and a half after graduating from college and spent two full summers working in Denali. This place is undescribably awe-inspiring. You cannot possibly realize how small you are, how insignificant, until you set foot in a landscape like this. The mountains, the untouched tundra, the wildlife, the seasons that change in the blink of an eye; all the features of this incredible place put the entirety of life into perspective.
