The North American Geological Wonders Go Down Go Up
Afoot and Afield
Many are the mountain ranges across the surface of this planet, so many in fact, it would be amiss of me to think I could ever be inclusive of these many ranges in this gallery.
Still, my hope is, in my travels, to visit as many of these as can be accomplished in my life, so with my boots on, the burden strapped to my back and camera ready at hand, I will wend my way to the summits of the many.
