“May your trails be crooked, winding, lonesome, dangerous, leading to the most amazing view. May your mountains rise into and above the clouds.”
Edward Abbey
“Rocky Mountain National Park, Winter Park and the mountains were very important to Jeff. We are at peace knowing that Jeff was doing something he loved and we are proud of him.”
Chris Christensen
“The experienced mountain climber is not intimidated by a mountain -- he is inspired by it. The persistent winner is not discouraged by a problem -- he is challenged by it. Mountains are created to be conquered; adversities are designed to be defeated; problems are sent to be solved. It is better to master one mountain than a thousand foothills.”
William Arthur Ward
“Mountains cannot be surmounted except by winding paths.”
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
“He who climbs upon the highest mountains laughs at all tragedies, real or imaginary.”
Friedrich Nietzsche
“Faith, indeed, has up to the present not been able to move real mountains . . . But it can put mountains where there are none.”
“The mountains are calling and I must go.”
John Muir
