Photograph of 3 caribou standing out on the wash in Denali National Park and Preserve as viewed at a distance. The wash slopes down through the foreground from left to right. Streams of water flow through the wash. In the distance, a few animals (presumably caribou) stand far out in the wash at center. They are barely visible. Beyond the wash, a snow-covered mountain stands in the background at right and another rises at left.
