International Mountain Day 2025

    Blue Ridge Parkway Fall peak
I used to travel up to the Blue Ridge Parkway most weekends. Nowadays I'm pretty much a homebody and don't venture out like I used to.

The vistas of the mountain tops were some of my favorite places. I recall spending hours on end at Craggy Gardens and the Pigsah Range farther South.

I never saw Sasquatch or anything untoward just the birds and other woodland creatures known to me. I was actively pursuing bigfoot at that time, however.

I contained my disappointment and let it all go for the other benefits of hitting the mountain range close to home.

Today is International Mountain Day. It goes down each December 11 and is here to emphasize the importance of mountains. With mountains comprising around 27% of the Earth's topology, conservation is the major thrust of the observance.
