The power and majesty of mountains resonate deep within me.  Wouldn't it
be perfect to spend the night on a mountain summit, I thought.  So I set out  
on a solo adventure to spend the night at the summit of the South Sister
(10,300 ft) located near Bend, OR.  I started my climb feeling excited but
also had some trepidation about being alone and exposed at high
elevation.

I reached the summit pleasantly exhausted and set up my sleeping bag,
without a tent, among the rocks.  I was blessed to witness a moon and sun
set, shooting stars, and a sun rise from a spiritual vantage point... a
profound and life altering experience!
Room with a view!
