Alpenglow, caused by the setting sun passing obliquely through the atmosphere, sets Denali and the Alaska Range Mountains ablaze. Those fortunate enough to enjoy the sunset North of the Alaska Range, under the proper conditions, may witness the interesting phenomenon of alpenglow on Denali. Near sunset, the rays of the sun pass through more of the atmosphere, and depending on the quantity of moisture or dust, produce a reddish-pink glow. Even after sunset, the refraction (bending) of the light rays by the atmosphere gives Denali a faint glow.
