"Thousands of tired, nerve-shaken, over-civilized people are beginning to find out that going to the mountains is going home; that wildness is a necessity; and that mountain parks and reservations are useful not only as fountains of timber and irrigating rivers, but as fountains of life." John Muir
I love the mountains. It's no secret - there is something about majestic peaks that stirs something within me. The San Francisco Peaks are so different from the Colorado Rockies, the ranges in Alaska or the Swiss Alps. At 12,633 feet, Humphreys Peak is the highest point in Arizona. This is almost 2,000 feet lower than Antero, the mountain I summited in Colorado.
And yet, these mountains are still breathtaking. This view of the peaks is from a gas station on 180, just past the museum.
