Pike's Peak. We have no real mountains in Wisconsin. When we went to Colorado and saw the mountains beginning to show on the horizon I still had no idea of their size. It was when we went up Pike's Peak. Up and up endlessly and then stood at the top. How huge it was! I don't think I could ever have comprehended it's size, or any mountain's size, without actually being on one. The phrase "You can move mountains." Carries new meaning now.
The headwaters of the Mississippi - how insignificant. To have birthed a river so wild and large. Something that has affected the growth of the whole country and started so small.
