The Misty Mountains

So I'm packing my bags for the Misty Mountains

Where the spirits go now

Over the hills where the spirits fly, oh, I really don't know

~~~~ Led Zeppelin

 

Originally I was going to quote from Tolkien's poem but when I came across this lyric I thought it more fitting. I remember as a teenager listening to the Led Zepp album and discovering how many of the songs referred to things in Lord of the Rings.

 

The prominent rock formation to the right of the river is Battle Bluff so named in the 1870s for the blood red pictographs on its rocks which depicted a great battle.
