Colorado Beauty
Uploaded: December 18, 2009
No matter what season it is in Colorado beauty abounds. From climbing to the top of Long’s Peak or walking on a path in the valley...it is all breathtaking. When I look at this majestic mountain it is hard to believe that I actually made that long climb to the top…it was one awesome feeling and one of the biggest undertakings of my life.
"He who climbs upon the highest mountains laughs at all tragedies, real or imaginary.” ~Friedrich Nietzsche
