Scenery Around The Blue Ribbon Mine

This is looking west from the highest part of the mine. That glacier-carved valley curving to the right is the upper Peters Creek valley. Behind those black spires lies Mt. Foraker, which is covered by clouds in this photo. If you walk up the valley and over the divide, into the Bear Creek valley, you will be on the southern boundary of Denali National Park, about 6 miles away.

This is a view of the area from the Petersville Recreational Mining Area. That's Denali (aka Mt. McKinley) in the center, and the Blue Ribbon Mine is on the green mountain at the extreme left edge of the photo. Denali State Park is about 5 miles to the north.
