Alaska Mountains

8/22/2018

We have driven by hundreds of mountains in Alaska, and can testify that each one has its own special charm. That’s why we keep taking photos of mountains.

The tallest mountains are for viewing only. People climb them, but we are not up to challenge. We hike instead up other peaks and ridges to see glaciers, lakes and tundra.

If you like mountains, too, look below to see some of the beauties that we found this year.

Climbing mountains is one of my hobbies. I think that people do not even know how great it is to climb a mountain. In my opinion, climbing a mountain is like living life. It is when we go through a lot of diversity that we are able to climb to the top. I feel like we under appreciate climbing mountains and that is what makes me mad the most. I want people to appreciate this task a lot more than I do.
