My favorite CAC experience took place on the final day of our trip, the day I fell in love with the mountains.
With my head (literally) in the clouds, I watched the sun go down and the stars come out. 
 It was then that I vowed to someday pay a return visit to the "high country. 

As Lord Byron said, "I live not in myself, but I become portion of that around me." 

To me, high mountains are a feeling, but the hum of human cities, torture.
