    you can see the city lights under the layer of fog - that's Denali, Foraker, and Spurr (at least wikipedia told me that)

    we were surprised at how well we could see Denali (we could see snow cover with binoculars) - great colors!

    we saw the moon up over a ridge and decided to chase it - hike up the mtn to Blueberry Trail at 9pm (not to summit of Flattop)
