In 2000, I had the pleasure of coming to Denali National Park, Alaska, for an acting contract with Cabin Nite Dinner Theatre. I learned the rich history of the pioneers of this area, was awestruck by the majesty of the land and marveled at the wildlife roaming in their natural habitat.

Over the years, I have been continually invigorated by the Land of the Midnight Sun and unendingly awed by the ethereal northern lights. The lives of the men and women who first came for the gold rush fascinate me, as do the those who are still here today.

I realized that the many pictures I have taken offer only a passing glimpse of the depth of the beauty of the place that is Denali. I wanted to share more. I wanted to do it justice.

Hence, Denali 360.

What I promise with this site is to share the art of storytelling. Whether the stories are a source of entertainment, a means of education, or a channel for cultural preservation, they are crafted by the storytellers with their own perspectives about this great land.

“It’s the beauty that thrills me with wonder,
it’s the stillness that fills me with peace.”

– Robert W. Service, “The Spell of the Yukon”
