Growing up in Denver, I'm sure it started with loving the Colorado mountains.

To a person sitting quietly at home, Rocky Mountain traveling, like Rocky Mountain scenery, must seem very monotonous; but not so to me, to whom the pure, dry mountain air is the elixir of life.

Mountains were once my big adventure but is is over since a long time; I still dream from the wonderful days sometimes, read also a few pages from a mountain book. But the thought of doing again active mountain climbing has faded.

May your trails be crooked, winding, lonesome, dangerous, leading to the most amazing view. May your mountains rise into and above the clouds.

I have always loved the wild places between the Sierra Nevada range and the Rocky Mountains. The east face of the Sierra Nevada is steep and largely unknown, a wonderful setting.

Marty Robbins once sang you give me a mountain, I've been given a few mountains in my life.

The lake and the mountains have become my landscape, my real world.

Highest of heights, I climb this mountain and feel one with the rock and grit and solitude echoing back at me.

Mountains are the beginning and the end of all natural scenery.

The scenic ideals that surround even our national parks are carriers of a nostalgia for heavenly bliss and eternal calmness.
