Over every mountain there is a path, although it may not be seen from the valley.

I grew up climbing mountains in Montana and Wyoming and my wife and I were engaged on top of a mountain peak: Hyalite Peak in Montana. It was a 15-mile hike to get to the top of that, round-trip - thankfully, she said yes.

Whatever that means, however you got on that mountain, why not try to climb it? And do it in your own way.

Any road followed precisely to its end leads precisely nowhere. Climb the mountain just a little bit to test it's a mountain. From the top of the mountain, you cannot see the mountain.

If we know where we want to go, then even a stony road is bearable.

The longest road trip I've ever been on is from Minnesota to Los Angeles.

So it's been kind of a long road, but it was a good journey altogether.

I think true wilderness can still be found, but it's hard to reach and dangerous when you get there, which is probably why it still exists.

I can't do with mountains at close quarters - they are always in the way, and they are so stupid, never moving and never doing anything but obtrude themselves.
