Liz there was only one thing wrong with Denali, took up most of our radar coverage in the norhteastern quadrent. Was at a site near McGrath. Some of the Pics on a clear day are unreal as visibility was 100 plus miles on some days, also got some pics optical illusions due to the crystallian features of the atmosphere at times. Those were the best times for good aurora borealis, with short daylight hours getting close to the winter solstice.

For the sun to never set, the location must be above the 23 1/2 degree latitude. To be above that circle you would not have the greenery seen in Insomnia. Also the sun does not rise and set..it travels alone a line above the horizon, gettinig lower and lower or higher and higher each day. It takes 6 months to set. You could see the shadows and sunlight wax and wane during the scenes.

Well I live in Victoria..which is actually somewhat west of Washington being south of the 49th. People come here to get away.

huh, it looks as tho there maybe a ferrie from port angeles.

Are there resorts like what Jasper and Banff has there?

I will look it up on the internet but any time saved by someone who knows the area, would be appreciated

The only time I've been to Canada was the '86 Exposition and I don't remember too much except that there was far too much to see!
