At this altitude, thin is the air

At first it really is a scare 

Breathing differently requires care.

–

Once the breathing adjustment’s done 

Then it is time to have great fun 

Please use some caution when you run 

Or you might get caught unawares.

–

Go for a hike or fishing too 

Many activities to do 

Aside from admiring the view 

Be sure to watch out for the bears.

–

Rent a condo or pitch a tent

Glamping or RVs, worth each cent

Worth it all for the great time spent

With, s’mores and marshmallows to spare.

–

Hikes are long and need many stops

To catch your breath and cop a squat

Refreshing water hits the spot

Hard granite serves as your chair.

–

Catching and cooking rainbow trout 

Is what mountains are all about 

Don’t let the thin air make you part 

With beauty beyond all compare. 

–

Look all good things your trip will end

Many stories to tell your friends 

Giving back gear they had to lend

Until the next trip to prepare…
