One Place, 7 Gorgeous Photographs: Denali National Park

One of the best things about outdoor photography is that, while photographers may trek to the same gorgeous locations, season after season, year after year, their photos are completely different. Outdoor photographers capture not only the natural beauty of a breathtaking location, but also an emotion, a feeling — and a unique experience.

The following photos all come from the Denali National Park and Preserve in Alaska, the first national park ever established for the sole purpose of conserving wildlife. It’s home to Mount McKinley — and a favorite destination for outdoor and nature photographers. And while all of these pictures were taken in the same place, they’re the work of seven individual photographers. As a result, you get seven very different takes on the same place.
