Secret Arch

i found this arch in the back of a hidden, little known canyon. I don't see a name for it or any sign of it in the Arch Database, so i might get to name it unless someone tells me what the name is.

Prehistoric Hidden Valley

This valley is halfway up the 50 mile long Nabesna Glacier but is somehow ice free for a few miles. That makes it one of the most remote valleys in North America. If you can walk here from the road, then you are in shape to go anywhere on the planet.

It's impossible to describe the immense size of Denali. It's taller then Mt. Everest from bottom to top and also one of the most massive mountains on Earth. The foothills you see here would be regular sized mountains in most places on the continent.

Matanuska Panorama

The upper reaches of the Matanuska River meets the Matanuska Glacier. They can be thought of as different forks that meet to create the main river. Very nice fall day and fantastic view. The lowland forests on the right are possibly growing on old abandoned parts of the glacier buried under soil and rock.
