I've heard it many times out here that these are the oldest mountains in the world. Built up through the constant upheaval created by the smashing of continental size tectonic plates. At times higher than Everest only to be scraped down by a couple ice ages. Like the great philosopher Joey Benda said as he hiked through these mountains in the summer of '16, “a lot can happen in a billion years”.

ReplyDeleteThat's for sure! Hey, I just heard about the International AT. You can go hike a portion of it in Europe I think. Same mountain range.....a billion years ago, or so. ;-)
