To find the vertical distance between Kale and the mountain peak, you subtract Kale's elevation from the peak's elevation:

Peak's elevation: 3,283 feet
Kale's elevation: 2,345 feet

Vertical distance = Peak's elevation - Kale's elevation
Vertical distance = 3,283 feet - 2,345 feet
Vertical distance = 938 feet

So, the correct answer is 938 feet.
