The alpine zone of the mountains is my favorite place to be. It's means you're close to breaching the tree line. It means you've come a long way from the bottom. It's a zone where the natural world is not longer overrun by the man-made world. It's a place where the bright green moss contrasts with the dark brown trunks. It's a place where my soul feels free from the world and free to be exactly who I am. It's a place that brings me tranquility and pure joy.
