Day three saw the return of clouds with the added bonus of rain. Temperatures at sea level peaked in the mid 40's. Luckily I happened to be in position when Mt. McKinley showed up on the horizon. Even from ~200 miles away you can see its bulk. Its the one on the right if you're wondering.
Here is a picture of the storm that rolled in. You probably can't see it, but the mountains in the background have no snow on them. When we arrived only the very tallest peaks had ice and snow. The ones nearest to anchorage were bare to the top.
here is a picture from the next day. As you can see it snowed fairly heavily. The locals said that that snow would not melt until next summer.
