Magnificent Views

[Scotty]

Does anyone else find some of the most magnificent views of landscape while your hiking? I have seen some of the most beautiful wild country since I started hiking. It's amazing with all of us thinking we have covered every inch of the US, that we still find some areas that are wildly beautiful!

Yes but my odd issue is that I have a problem with heights that look unstable. I am not afraid of heights but say on an old creaky bridge that looks 100 years old, then I have issues. So while I love my new camera I have issues getting the best images to take back from my trips out until I get over this weird fear.

The most beautiful places in this world can only be accessed through hiking.

So true and that is part of what keeps them so nice. This means that a limited number of people will enjoy them as most of the masses are to lazy to get to them.

I love the views you can see when you get somewhere wild and high. I've seen some beautiful vistas that you couldn't imagine in your mind's eye. It's a wonderful thing that some of these places stay hidden from all but a select few.

Oh yes, that is why I hike. I love the outdoors and I love the views. I hike in the winter too because everything is so pretty when it's snow covered (first snowfall). You just have to stand there for a few minutes and take in the view.

The views I love the most are when out in volcanic areas hiking to the top of volcanic craters. I love going across lava flows hiking up the side of cinder cones and such and being able to look down inside of a crater that its depth is almost the same as its height.
