Some Mountains I've Climbed...

I am praying for God to move MOUNTAINS....and move them to Omaha, Nebraska!!!!

This is Rainier. I used to see him everyday, now he is just a memory. I can only reminisce about the beauty I took for granted everyday.

Montana. It was heaven on earth. It was so beautiful with all the goats, bears and marmots running around. I loved hiking there, especially when my Grandma would say, "it's just a little hike." And it was 15 miles. "But the next hike will only be 11," She said. But that was one way. Ha... gotta love her.

This is Chirripo (no I am not cussing). It was the first "mountain" I climbed to the top. It is actually a peak, the second highest peak in Central America. It is in Costa Rica. So much fun! So much green! It took us 8 hours to get to the base camp (not the top yet!) We found out that there are men who will carry your backpacks for you, and they can get up in 4 hours. Whoa! (I put a picture one of those guys for you.)


Does the "Mount" of Olives count?

So, the point of this being..it is high time I go hiking!!!

Those are amazing pictures. I want to go to Montana! I did hear from someone who has traveled through all 50 states that Montana and Utah are the most beautiful.

yes for real, Montana is absolutely gorgeous, but mostly Glacier is where the mountainous beauty is at. The state as a whole is pretty just because no one lives there.
