From my quote collection; As often as one camps at twelve thousand feet in the Sierra, the charm of crystally pure air, these cold, sparkling gem-like tints of rock and alpine lake, the fiery bronze of foliage, and luminous though deep-toned sky, combine to produce an intellectual and even a spiritual elevation. Deep and stirring feelings come naturally, the present falls back into its true relation, one’s own wearying identity shrinks from the broad, open foreground of the vision, and a calmness born of reverent reflections encompasses the soul. ~ Clarence King, Mountaineering in the Sierra Nevada, 1871
