    I just got back from a road trip to the Jasper area with my 6 year old daughter. As a prairie boy, I found myself looking around in awe at the mountains - many times I was wondering how the heck Foresty Forest bags all of the summits that he does! But we did one little summit with the help of the Jasper Skytram and I think that might have lit a fire inside my little girl. Maybe one day we'll be starting from the bottom!

    I keep thinking you can't keep upping your game but low and behold did you ever with this one! John Muir summed it up best: "One day's exposure to mountains is better than cartloads of books. See how willingly Nature poses herself upon photographers' plates. No earthly chemicals are so sensitive as those of the human soul." Amen!

  • @XEinstein
    @XEinstein Год назад +6

    2:00 from a European point of view it is so hard to imagine that that vista is nothing but wilderness. If this vista would be in the alps there would be highways and trainlines in the valleys, villages not only in the valleys but spread-out through the mountains as well. There'd be mountain huts, little guesthouses and alms galore. Cattle grazing everywhere and lifts carrying people up and over the mountain passes in ease. Such a different experience.

    • @Biggiiful
      @Biggiiful Год назад

      It's like that in some areas in the US too, and honestly what you just described sounds like a charming setting and view. There is just so much empty space on the North American continent still. At one point you're mountains were just as empty too. It's both cool and depressing to think about either way.

    • @XEinstein
      @XEinstein Год назад

      @@Biggiiful the hiking experience in the Alps is fantastic exactly because it is so populated. It's arguably a better experience ending your hiking day in a mountain alm hut, eating a freshly cooked meal and drinking and ice cold beer, when compared to eating a freeze dried meal from a bag. Add to the centuries of mountain culture of farmers grazing their cattle on alms high in the mountains. Hiking in the alps is as much a culture experience ar it is a nature experience. It's amazing precisely for that reason. But also for the same reason, I find myself hiking in Scotland or Norway more often than in the Alps as it is the wilderness experience that I want to have more than the cultural experience
