    I went to the top of Mt. Sneffels (14,050 feet) in September, and a friend asked me why I like high places. I LOVE high places, but I was at a loss to explain why. There is something great about being above timberline, and it isn’t just the views. I think it has something to do with being isolated or separated from the rest of the world too. Anyone else here love to get high in the mountains? Why? Steve http://www.TheUltralightBackpackingSite.com

    I had one opportunity to “go high” in the Austrian Alps and absolutely loved it, and hated it. Why go high? I love the famous quote, “Because it was there.” That’s about the only explanation I think a person would ever need.
