Above treeline are the most spiritual places I've known. I hate to come down.
And never the least reason is that I usually bust my ass to get there.
It's totally strange to drive up in those few places where roads go up. Here in the Rockies, we have Pikes Peak and Mount Evans in CO. When I was living in AK, treeline was much lower down because of the northern lats, so a couple of hours of slog got us up over the timber.
I assume that's Shasta or thereabouts in your shot.
