Mount St. Michelle, France, is one of my all-time favourite places to visit. One’s stay must be overnight and include a night visit to the Cathedral as well as an early morning sunrise.

High in the Black Hills of South Dakota, the faces of Washington, Jefferson, Roosevelt, and Lincoln gaze across a rugged wilderness that has witnessed centuries of change. There's a quiet sense of awe here, where nature and history meet.

Mount Tabor is located in Lower Galilee, Israel, at the eastern side of the Jezreel Valley. It was the site of the Mount Tabor battle between Barak under the leadership of the Israelite judge Deborah, and the army of Jabin commanded by Sisera, in the mid 12th century BCE. It is believed by many Christians to be the site of the Transfiguration of Jesus. It is known as Har Tavor in Hebrew, Itabyrium in the Graeco-Roman world, Jebel et-Tur in Arabic, and the Mount of Transfiguration in Christian context.

After 40 years leading the headstrong Israelites in the desert, Moses stood on the windswept summit of Mount Nebo and viewed the Promised Land of Canaan — after having been told by God “you shall not cross over there”.
On a clear day, today’s pilgrims can see the panorama Moses viewed: The Dead Sea, the Jordan River valley, Jericho, Bethlehem and the distant hills of Jerusalem.
As Deuteronomy 34:5-6 recounts, Moses died there in the land of Moab “but no one knows his burial place to this day”. Moses did, however, eventually reach the Promised Land. He and Elijah were seen with Jesus at the latter’s Transfiguration (Luke 9:28-36).
Mount Nebo is now in western Jordan. At 820 metres high, it looks down 1220 metres on the nearby Dead Sea (which is about 400 metres below sea level).
Early Christians from Jerusalem made it a place of pilgrimage. In the 3rd or 4th century monks from Egypt built a small church on one of its peaks, Siyagha (a name meaning monastery), to commemorate the end of Moses’ life. By the end of the 4th century, an empty “tomb of Moses” was being shown to pilgrims on the mountain.

Mount Rainier is the highest mountain of the Cascade Range of the Pacific Northwest, and the highest mountain in the state of Washington. It is a large active stratovolcano located 54 miles (87 km) southeast of Seattle. It is the most topographically prominent mountain in the contiguous United States and the Cascade Volcanic Arc, with a summit elevation of 14,411 ft (4,392 m). Mt. Rainier is considered one of the most dangerous volcanoes in the world, and it is on the Decade Volcano list. Because of its large amount of glacial ice, Mt. Rainier could potentially produce massive lahars that could threaten the entire Puyallup River valley.
Mount Rainier was first known by the Native Americans as Talol, or Tacoma or Tahoma, from the Lushootseed word [təqʷúʔbəʔ] ("mother of waters") spoken by the Puyallup. Another interpretation is that "Tacoma" means "larger than Mount Baker". This comes from the Skagit "Ta", larger, plus "Koma (Kulshan)", Mount Baker. Other names originally used include Tahoma, Tacobeh, and Pooskaus. The current name was given by George Vancouver, who named it in honor of his friend, Rear Admiral Peter Rainier. The map of the Lewis and Clark expedition of 1804-1806 refers to it as "Mt. Regniere".
Although "Rainier" had been considered the official name of the mountain, Theodore Winthrop, in his posthumously published 1862 travel book The Canoe and the Saddle, referred to the mountain as "Tacoma" and for a time, both names were used interchangeably, although "Mt. Tacoma" was preferred in the city of Tacoma.
In 1890, the United States Board on Geographic Names declared that the mountain would be known as "Rainier". Following this in 1897, the Pacific Forest Reserve became the Mount Rainier Forest Reserve, and the national park was established three years later. Despite this, there was still a movement to change the mountain's name to "Tacoma" and Congress was still considering a resolution to change the name as late as 1924.
In the excitement leading up to Super Bowl XLVIII, John Hickenlooper, Governor of Colorado, named 53 mountains after the 53 members of the Denver Broncos. In response, the Washington State Senate passed a resolution on Friday, January 31, 2014, temporarily renaming the mountain Mount Seattle Seahawks. The resolution expired on midnight Monday, February 3, 2014.
While working on a project I came across this shot and some others I took of Mount Hood. It was a great day to be near the mountain. I'll try to work a few of the others in to my photostream. :) (Hood River Area 242.jpg)

Mount Baldo range 20201213
Monte Baldo is a mountain range in the Italian Alps, located in the provinces of Trento and Verona. Its ridge spans mainly northeast-southwest, and is bounded from the south by the highland ending at Caprino Veronese, from the west by Lake Garda, from the north by the valley joining Rovereto to Nago-Torbole and, from east, the Val d'Adige.
The name derives from the German Wald ("forest"); it appears for the first time on a German map in 1163.

Mount Assiniboine is a pyramidal peak mountain located on the Great Divide, on the British Columbia/Alberta border in Canada. It is the highest peak (3,618 m) in the Southern Continental Ranges of the Canadian Rockies.
I climbed to the summit 4 times during the trip, the sunrise and sunset were so different at every visits. This was the scene before sunrise, clouds hanging on top of Mount Assiniboine! Untouched nature, peaceful environment except very cold and windy on top of the mountains... The most beautiful place on earth!
Reservation is so difficult, like Lake O'Hara, entering the "A" mountain was difficult... either 30km hiking in (with bears) or lifted by helicopter... I was lucky to get the huts reservation at Mount Assiniboine after calling over 500 calls last fall. I tried to book Lake O'Hara's shuttle for this fall, I was waiting at the very beginning of online registration opening, when it was opened online, I was on the queue with the number of over 10K, those were numbers of people before me, I was online exactly when it was opened the queue, I could not get it... Have to hike 11km from the parking lot to Lake O'Hara, then climb the mountains...
