14th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Insurmountable

We were sitting on the chairlift headed to the top of the mountain. During the winter I need to stay in shape and keep my leg muscles from shriveling. So my winter motto has become “The Mountain is My Gym”. My ski buddy Rob asked me what my favorite place to go was. It didn’t even take me a nanosecond to respond…Glacier! It’s not that there aren’t a LOT of amazing places on the surface of this planet, because there are. I’m just not sure I can make it to them all before my time is up. So, if I have to choose to get the best bang for my ‘buck’ (that being time left), I’ll go to my go to place – Glacier!
