I didn’t have any appreciation for the mountains until I climbed to the top of one. The view from the top is always amazing. It’s a view that never gets old.
We have a lot of mountain photos and going through them all has made me super excited about our upcoming hikes. I can’t wait for the avalanche warnings to subside so we can get back out there. I also realized something else while going through all of our photos…not a lot of photos show Curtis on top of a mountain, I assure you that he was there! You’ll see he makes an excellent photographer!
All of these photos have been taken within a 90 minute drive from Calgary, Alberta.

Mountains are not Stadiums where I satisfy my ambition to achieve, they are the cathedrals where I practice my religion.

There’s nothing more gratifying than the view from the top of a long, mountain trek. Your pictures are absolutely stunning. I can’t wait to get out to the Calgary area and do some hardcore hiking and climbing! Love your blog!

Love love this post! I agree with you- there’s quite an appreciation for the majesty of the mountains once you hike to the top of one. If you have not done Sparrowhawk as yet, I highly recommend it! EPIC!
