Today I got on the bus from Denali to Anchorage at 7:45 AM. The weather was cool but sunny and almost cloudless, so I couldn't help but wonder if The Tall One (Denali) would be visible in the distance. I never saw the whole mountain during my visit. One a couple of occasions, I was able to see the top of the peak sticking out of the clouds. Today, I got lucky and had the chance to see the whole mountain during the bus ride to Anchorage.
There were a few occasions along the road where Denali came into view. By far though, the best view was from the Talkeetna Lodge where we stopped to drop off passengers and take a 45 min. break. From the back patio of the hotel, Denali loomed large.

Great blog. Just found it. Never been to Alaska, but like so many people, I sure hope to visit in the future.
