About 7000 to 11000 varying, depending on the peaks & ridgelines. Mt Logan (Yukon) was 19k and Mt McKinley was 20k+, so it made for absolutely spectacular 3D dynamics... Especially when there was multi-level scattered cloud stuff going on too.

Nice video, Aaron. I was in Denali this last June, what a beautiful place. Since I was on the ground, I am very jealous of your wonderful flight. I would really like to hear more on how you planned it, altitudes flown, fuel, etc.

This video should be played on a loop at Crossville! Maybe among some other great videos
