See Mount McKinley, tallest U.S. peak -- or not

Pictures of Mount McKinley in Alaska, which is often covered by clouds.

IF YOU TRAVEL to Alaska, don't count on seeing Mount McKinley. North America's highest peak is often covered by clouds.

TIM TRUDELL, left, and Mallory Trudell of Omaha, Neb., are among the lucky ones. Only one in three tourists who seek Mount McKinley catch a glimpse of it.

OTHERS GET a view like this one: obscured by clouds, even from the viewing deck at the Talkeetna Alaskan Lodge in Talkeetna, Alaska.

THE VIEWING GUIDE at Talkeetna Alaskan Lodge is of little help when clouds roll in.

PILOT SERVICES offer tourists a bird's-eye view of the Alaska mountain range ...

... and sometimes "flightseers" come up lucky over the Alaska Range.

VISITORS TO Alaska's Denali National Park and Preserve take in a view of the mountain from a new visitor center.
