Mount Robson Provincial Park, the second oldest park in British Columbia's park system, is truly one of the world's crown jewels. The mountain for which the park is named guards the park's western entrance. At 3,954 meters, Mount Robson, the highest peak in the Canadian Rockies, towers over the lesser surrounding peaks.

Just when the treks are easier for the legs, and the sweat to climb Pinatubo is not as exhilarating as before, the view is still spectacular despite the man-made park on a volcano, complete with cobbled steps, benches and houses. Sometimes I wonder how nuts some capitalists are.

This Carthusian Priory is now in the care of English Heritage.
www.english-heritage.org.uk/visit/places/mount-grace-priory/
The Arts and Crafts mansion has been restored with 1920s interiors to the house.
Mount Grace Priory was founded in 1398 by Richard II’s nephew Thomas de Holland.
It is the best-preserved Carthusian monastery in England. The priory is even used by historians as a ‘type site’, or model, for the study of other medieval Carthusian buildings.
Mount Grace was one of only nine Carthusian monasteries, also known as charterhouses, in medieval England.
Carthusian monks lived solitary lives. They spent most of their time in isolated cells and lived according to a strict timetable.
Mount Grace was one of the last monasteries in Yorkshire to be suppressed during the Reformation.
In the 17th century, part of the priory was remodelled as a mansion.
In the early 20th century, the site was bought by wealthy industrialist Lowthian Bell. Bell enlarged and remodelled the mansion at Mount Grace in the Arts and Crafts style championed by William Morris.

Established in 1911, the Mount Airy Forest covers an impressive 1,471 acres and includes natural areas, planned landscapes, buildings, structures, and landscape features. The numerous hiking trails, bridle paths, walls, gardens, pedestrian bridges, and various other improvements within Mount Airy Forest reflect the ambitious park planning and development that took place in Cincinnati in the early to mid-20th century. Conceived as the nation’s first urban reforestation project, the park has developed over the years—especially during the Depression and post-World War II period- into a park with a variety of areas, spaces and structures designed to accommodate recreational, social, and educational activities. Today it continues to offer a large expanse of protected land within the city limits where the public can enjoy the richness and diversity of nature.

This Mount Airy Forest National Register nomination was prepared in conjunction with the The Historic Resources o/the Cincinnati Park and Parkway System, 1817-1959 which documents the history and development of one of the most comprehensive urban park systems in the nation. The study (or MPD) includes historic contexts, definition of property types and registration requirements, methodology, and bibliography. Mount Airy Forest is the largest park, by far, in Cincinnati's park system. The period of significance extends from its creation in 1911 until 1959, when the Police Headquarters was constructed. The end date also coincides with R. Carl Freund's death, the architect for twelve Mount Airy Forest buildings. His death also established the end date for the MPD described above. The vast majority of the park was developed during the Depression era utilizing both federal funding and federal labor programs.
Mount Airy Forest is eligible for the National Register under Criterion A as one of the earliest (if not the first) urban reforestation projects in the nation; for its Depression era development utilizing federal WP A and CW A funding; and for the African-American Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) labor that provided manpower for tree-planting, road and trail building, and construction of shelters and comfort stations; and under Criterion C for landscape architectural significance as a joint design developed by noted landscape architect George E. Kessler and State Forester Edmund Secrest; for its architectural significance representing "Rustic" park architectural design; for the quality of the construction and craftsmanship of the buildings and structures in the park; and for the association with R. Carl Freund, the Cincinnati Park Board's most prolific architect, who designed 12 buildings in Mount Airy Forest and 37 for the Cincinnati Park Board between 1930 and 1959.
Mount Airy Forest was established in 1911 with an initial purchase of 168 acres. Although reforestation efforts began immediately, the construction of roads, trails, buildings, and walls began during the Depression. The CCC camp established in Mount Airy Forest was one of 2,600 camps established nationally to employ young men aged 17- 25. Of the several thousand CCC camps established during the Depression, approximately 150 employed all African-American youth. Between 1933 when the CCC was founded and 1941, 250,000 African-Americans served in the CCC. (Edgar Brown, The CCC and Colored Youth, U. S. Government Printing Office, 1941) The CCC camp in Mount Airy Forest operated from July 10, 1935 to July 14, 1937, and provided 51,414 man days of work in the park and accomplished a tremendous amount of work.
Mount Storm Lake, near Backbone Mountain, Tucker County, West Virginia
Special thanks to Kim Klassen for her creative texture.
On this day, October 3, 2011, it was only in the 30s, the mountains had received snow and the warm water, next to the power station, was creating incredible fog and mist throughout the Allegheny pass.
Mount Storm Lake is a popular local and tourist destination. When Dominion Virginia Power is using the reservoir for cooling, it keeps Mount Storm Lake at a warm temperature that makes it perfect for swimming, boating, and water activities even in cooler weather. The reservoir's water is also extremely clear, with the light available on an average overcast day allowing swimmers to clearly see its bottom at depths of at least five to six feet.
Mount Storm Lake, due to the temperatures, is a popular diving destination and training ground for scuba divers. The reservoir, which is in the upper 80s to 90s in the summer and rarely drops below fifty in the winter is outfitted with dive platforms at 30, 50, 75, and 120 feet and is regularly used by divers as a place to test equipment, maintain skill, enjoy a dive, and further training.
The lake's location on the Allegheny Front, one of the windiest spots east of the Mississippi, makes it an excellent destination for small boat sailing. There is a public boat ramp at the north end of the lake just off Highway 93.

Mount Vesuvius is a stratovolcano in the Gulf of Naples, Italy, about 9 km (5.6 mi) east of Naples and a short distance from the shore. It is one of several volcanoes which form the Campanian volcanic arc. Vesuvius consists of a large cone partially encircled by the steep rim of a summit caldera caused by the collapse of an earlier and originally much higher structure.

From the LAPD web site: "The full-time Mounted Platoon was established in 1987 as a component of the elite Metropolitan Division and is currently composed of 35 full-time sworn police personnel consisting of 1 Lieutenant, 4 Sergeants and 30 Police Officers. City funds were allocated for the purchase of 40 horses to be used by the officers during the performance of their field duties. Also purchased through funds donated by the Ahmanson Foundation were a fleet of 8 trucks and trailers to transport the officers and their mounts to the various details, and a state-of-the-art police equestrian center appropriately named "The Ahmanson Equestrian Facility."
