Ya gotta get up high, maybe 10 or 12 thousand feet, and carry on your back whatever you need for a few days, but the rewards are spectacular!   Colorado, Wyoming,  Montana, British Columbia, Peru; it just keeps getting better the more remote you get.

 Alpine flowers everywhere!  I've spent dozens of nights up in these special places, and they each have their own special memories.

  If you are gonna see Grizzly Bear,  this is the place!  (Bring your camera and lots of nerve!)
 

 If you can go ultra-lightweight, ang bivouac overnight in these special  high places, you'll be in for a treat that you will never forget!
