I definitely believe that people have been drawn to mountains for several reasons, one of which is simply how pristine and overwhelming they are in any landscape (it doesn’t necessarily have to be Mount Everest or any other super famous mountain). I think people are in awe of mountains partially because it’s humbling and makes us kind of realize that there are natural formations that have existed on earth way before we ever have. The journey of viewing the mountain from afar to slowly making your way uphill to reach its peak and take in nature from a high precipice is without a doubt of the most refreshing, cathartic experiences. I think we love mountains because, in a world where we often think we are at the center, these massive summits make us rethink that idea. What do you think?
