Mt. Denali in Alaska from a Single engine plane flying around the mountain

We hired a single engine plane (and pilot) who took us to Mount Denali (also called Mt McKinley), the highest point in North America. We flew over glaciers and then up to 11, 000 feet around the mountain. Since the mountain is 21,000 feet high, it felt like we were still at the bottom of the mountain. We couldn't go higher because the plane wasn't pressurized and didn't have oxygen. We flew around and between the peaks of the lower mountains and then made low passes over the glaciers around the mountain.
