Accepted Answer

Mountains, especially forested mountains provide a powerful sense of peace and privacy. I feel I could drink hot coffee or tea and look into the distant mountains and dreams come to me. The old growth forests tell stories if we only stopped to listen and respect them. I often look to the mountains when all else seems to have failed me. One of my closest and dearest friends is Kurdish and they have a saying, "our only friends are the mountains."

Answer

I can tell you thousands reasons why. Because you can breathe? Because you are free and you can do almost whatever you want? Because you can see your problems smaller?. Because the nature makes you disconnect from stress and connect with your inner self. Because it is fun to go up and see the world from the peak everything seems so small and unimportant. And many more reasons...

Answer

Because I dislike most people and whole-heartedly love trees.

Answer

Views. Air quality. Physical fitness/activity and the related endorphins. Peace. Lack of humans + human infrastructure. Wildlife. A sense of scale and wonder. + beer and weed hits better at high altitude. 🤷‍♀️

Answer

Commenting from 2200m up in the Andes Mountains about a 20 minute drive from the equator. I like the mountains here because it’s always springtime. Never cold, never hot, always beautiful. The air and rivers are clean, the people are healthy, and all the dangerous insects and animals are hanging out at the lower elevations.
