I am in the photo with Mt. Columbia directly over my head. Mel, my friend and I camped above tree line (around 12,000') then hiked up Columbia the next day. Columbia is in the Collegiate Range in Colorado and is one of the state's fifty 14,000' plus peaks.

Here are a couple, and there are so many places around the world that are so beautiful, each in their own ways...
Now if I can only figure out how this upload will work
this should be of Hotel Lake near Garden Bay, BC Canada...
and a sunrise at West Sechelt, BC Canada...
and another sunrise from the same location...this is out of my home office window...
That's an exotic one; you must have been sucking a bit of air, as you approached the summit....hiked up Columbia...jamesdunn

Well the oxygen is pretty thin at 14,000 '. Funny thing though, Mel my hiking buddy was a smoker and was challenged due to his smoking, but determined. He has since found it necessary to quit the higher climbs.That's an exotic one; you must have been sucking a bit of air, as you approached the summit.

This was taken from the road leading into Heilkenblut Austria. Nice two lane drive up the mountain.
Colorado: Nice in '86, hope it hasn't changed.
It has changed since '86, but it depends on what part of Colorado you're referring to. Your photos feature places that may be little changed. I grew up there and lived in Colorado as an adult seeing the population double from 1970 through the later part of the last century. By far the most growth has occurred on the front range.
