Shaped Card and US Quarter: Denali National Park, Alaska

Mount McKinley
Mount McKinley reflects in Reflection Pond in Denali National Park and Preserve in this shaped card. Mount McKinley is the highest mountain in North America with a summit elevation of 20,320 ft or 6,194 m above sea level. I got this shaped card in Anchorage when I attended the ASPRS annual conference in 2003.

For those who collect US quarters, The  the United States Mint issued a Denali National Park Quarter, showing a Dall sheep with Mount McKinley in the background, as part of its America the Beautiful Quarters Program on November 5, 2012.
