God is a patient sculptor
with tools of Ice, wind and rain
he carves out valleys and moraines
along the Tanana river's shore.

From distance I have seen
Mount Denali's snow capped peak.
Awe struck, there are no words to speak
To express its beauty to those who haven't been.

Rain forest of the frozen North;
Denali park is a home for the beasts.
Here , protected from the hunters at least
Moose munch willows and Bears go forth.

I will not see this place again;
where Denali's  majestic mountains rise
and glacier fed lakes reflect the skies.
I look back in wonder from my South bound train.
Denali National park in Alaska is the largest  park in the national parks system and is named after Mt Denali ( formerly Mount McKinley) whicfh is the highest peak in North America. The park is home to many wild creatures including Grizzly bears, Moose, Dahl goats, wolves and large birds of prey like Falcons, bald eagles and golden eagles
