They say that Jacques Balmat and Michel-Gabriel Paccard made the first ascent of 15,781-foot Mont Blanc with gourds of brandy and a handful of bread. We think a view like this must've powered them the rest of the way.

Congrats to Liah McPherson for winning our top prize for action photo for the 2018 summer season! And in case you're wondering—no, while it looks like fire, the water here is not ablaze. Tannins in the Santa Fe River dye the surface red.

Norway's fjords. It's said by some that the world's fjords are God's repository of spare parts she couldn't use when she created everything else. In Nordic culture, the mountains were bastions for trolls, legendary creatures often stupid and dangerous, t… https://t.co/LLbRea9Qws

A legendary photo for a legendary campground. By volume, only two peaks on the Pacific seaboard are more voluminous, Mount Adams and Mount Shasta. Look for the tents—she makes them look like pebbles. 🗻⛺

Spring in canyon country is a cruise along the color wheel. But even better than the wildflowers and the ruddy, rubicund canyon walls is the overarching sense of being lost. Like finding the dead end in a labyrinth, you know your journey will eventually … https://t.co/29lxkUbdjq

You'd think the Edge of Time would be a more unfriendly place, something less enjoyable to experience, although certain authors find it a fitting place to put a restaurant. There are no restaurants here, Gods be good, and we hope there never will be. Jus… https://t.co/0rppHHVvYo

The Paiute called this emblematic spire Nuwuzoho the Cannibal. And surely the area's first people saw the same thing we see today, from the south, a 400-foot pillar capped with east-facing features, a sunken eye, a gaping mouth—a Monkey Face. There's an … https://t.co/RT1EuhiKeT

We take a break from our regularly scheduled mountain magic to bring you signs of summer and a place where "petrified" refers to more than just wood and "forest" refers to desert, which itself refers to what is an ancient evaporated inland lakebed. "Nati… https://t.co/Zza5mCAA5u

Horses of the Scottish "mountains," these four-legged residents have grazed on the slopes of Traprain Law for millennia. The 13 Kings of Traprain, as they are known locally, are said to be the descendants of the first wild horses to be domesticated in th… https://t.co/vyt4K03Fir

Among the quintet of national parks in Utah, Bryce Canyon is by far its smallest, but don't let its size deceive you. Its sanguine and curious landscape is a Seussian skyline of sandstone hoodoos, more than 55 square miles ideal for exploration by those … https://t.co/D7VmnSHba0

"No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main. If a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as if a manor of thy friend's or of thine own were: any m… https://t.co/7sIDJavtsR

What is this Titan that has possession of me? Talk of mysteries!—Think of our life in Nature,—dayly to be shown matter, to come into contact with it,—rocks, trees, wind on our cheeks! the solid earth! the actual world! the common sense! Contact! Contact!… https://t.co/uCoHk7IVNt

More mountain magic: caves. Not all caves are the limestone sinkholes that make up many extraordinary cavern systems. Imagine this one virtually aflame with molten rock oozing from fissures down volcanic slopes, a pore to the heart of the earth. Thousand… https://t.co/HUOMj8qEbA

This is no yeti! Legends and folklore abound about the world's highest summit, and the peaks that number aplenty in the Khumbu valley. We found one of the strangest, a cautionary tale of absurd proportions. While recovering from an illness, Maurice Wilso… https://t.co/xqv1XqnLHo
