Wrangell-St. Elias National Park
This was taken on Route 4 just outside of Wrangell-St. Elias National Park in Alaska. The three mountains from left to right are Mt. Sanford, Mt. Drum, and Mt. Wrangell. These mountains are from 16,000 to 18,000 feet above sea level. The amazing thing about Alaska is that most of the land is low, so you see almost all of the vertical height of the mountain. This park is largely inaccessible by car, except for one small part of it. You either have to hike or take a plane in. Parts of it are accessible by four-wheel drive.
