Denali: Perfect Location for Visual Journalism

I happened to run across this terrific audio slideshow this morning featuring a great series of photographs from Denali National Park and Preserve. Kent Miller is a professor from Michigan that photographs in the park each summer. He also brings students to the Denali to learn and photograph. What a great opportunity to see one of the most magnificent, scenic places in the world!

Find the full series of Kent Miller photographs and audio slideshows on his trips to Denali at his blog. We also provide information on booking your Denali vacation.
