Oh goodness. I have way to many mountain photos! I'll start where I had my first mountain experience Adelboden, Switzerland. I'll be back with more.

Argh! Most of my mountain pics are in storage.

India. Aamby Valley







Santiago, Chile. The Andes are somewhere behind all that smog!! emilyinchile can attest to that



See...you can sorta see them hiding back there!



Red Rocks--it counts even if its part of the foothills of the Rockies

[msgeeksout]

I apologize first. I grew up in the Colorado mountains and my family still lives there. Since I live in Omaha (a place I absolutely loathe) I take A LOT of pictures of mountains, not just Colorado but in general.

First up the Mount Bierstadt area in Colorado. One of the 14ers.



The mountain itself. I think its got an interesting profile.



This is the cemetery where I grew up. It dates back to the founding of the area with the Colorado Gold Rush in 1859. I have trouble thinking a cemetery is anything but like this.



The Georgetown Loop Railroad and Devil's Gate Bridge in Georgetown, Colorado. This is narrow gauge and the bridge was built to overcome a very steep grade (I wanna say 8% but I can't remember the tour now even though I have heard it dozens of times). Anyway engineering marvel in its day. 



Rocky Mountain National Park



Rocky Mountain National Park



Lake Tahoe - Mt Tallac I think?



Lake Tahoe - Emerald Bay. Utterly beautiful.



Mount Rainier from an airplane window.



The Great Sugar Loaf Mountain in County Wicklow, Ireland. A lot of places call it a hill. I'd kind of agree. It's elevation is only 1,644 ft.
