I just got back from a 7 day hike in the German-Swiss* Alps, I think this panorama I made sums up just how astoundingly pretty the region is:
http://www.jobsmaps.com/other/pictures/alpshut_panorama.jpg

Taken 2100m up in a small refuge we stayed in with a crazy swiss-german farmer/guardian (the people who man the refuges) who spoke almost no english. Theres nothing like a beer and a hot bowl of soup after a 7 hour hike up 1500m!
  • the german-speaking region of the alps is the bit where the Eiger is, the north-facing side

theres a small part of the bottom right that is actually photoshopped (paintshopproed to be exact) because of the parallax error in generating panoramas, where you have to bend the photo round an imaginary cylinder

In the top-right hand corner, the top part of the mountain looks like a little bald man with his mouth open. Yelling profanities at the people stepping on his face, no doubt. :D

WOW, that looks like absolute shit. Hiking sucks, DONT GO HIKING, NEVER,
and for the views, just look em up on the internet :lol: . I spent a whole year hiking and its gay, (probably just Australia) but meh, oh yeah, and if you think there is satisfaction out of climbing a mountain, lol, your wrong. :lol:
(DONT GET ANGRY AT ME, ITS JUST AN OPINION)

there's lots of great hiking/camping places around where I live, but no mountains. The Buffalo River in Arkansas is a great place to go.
