I tell you what, there is no other feeling like being up in the alpine with no one else around, just mountains and animals. You feel really insignificant up there and realize how little room for injury/error you have up there if things go sideways but the vast open area and fresh are are overwhelming.
"Using your legs to go up a road is called walking, not hiking and if you have a gun over your shoulder or a bow in hand it's called road hunting."

I'm a lead foot, whiskey drinkin' outlaw.
I was just looking back through this thread two days ago. Needed some inspiration to get my arse up the hills for training.
I must say it worked.
