Our mountain loves are an acknowledgment that there is something bigger than our selves. Mountains are a place to find yourself, a playground, a place to be inspired. They remind us of the wonders of the world, they invite us to push the limits, but also to relax. Mountain mountains are statements of nature’s force, beauty and mystery, and they beckon every kind of human, beckoning them into their bosoms.

Something is demystifying about being on a clifftop, facing out over a great expanse, or sitting on the shore of a wordless mountain lake. The mountains also trigger awe, bringing us to the present moment, and leaving us with memories we’ll never forget. For those who fall in love with these high places, the mountain love never dies, a love that intensifies with each visit, each view.
