Flying Over the Rockies
This was the view from our flight with United Airlines, Denver to Durango. We went right over the rockies. This picture does a decent job of capturing the spectacle, but its hard to describe the sight. It’s truly awe inspiring. There are just so many peaks. They go on for miles and miles. I had to wonder, do they all have names? It doesn’t seem possible to me. I wonder if anyone really knows these mountains. They are so far removed from civilization, and seemingly impossible to get to. There’s range after range. Even if people could actively explore and know the first ranges it seems like that would still leave many peaks unexplored. Of course, that’s the impression I got from 30,000 ft. It could be much different on the ground.
