I Love Mountains

I haul ore concentrate from a copper mine roughly 5 hours south of the North 60th parallel not far from Alaska and the Yukon.

Every once in a while I get a chance to stop on the haul road and take a photo, usually while waiting to clear another truck on its way up.

The grades are steep but the scenery is just beautiful.

I've never seen anything like this before IRL. Thanks for sharing such splendor.

Not much margin for error - but stunning!

@Mamapolo2016 it's wider than it looks and narrow in some spots. But it takes a few trips up and down to get to know it really well

It's those first few trips ya gotta watch. So much of life is like that.😊@Sapio

That is really really beautiful. Plus you must have guts of steel to handle those roads. You could disappear in those mountains...

@Sapio Yes it’s against the law here too. But that bear in the zoo was eyeing my jelly tots and I couldn’t resist. Yeah I’d be kind of afraid camping knowing there are bears around. The seem quite territorial. That being said I’d love to see them in their natural habitat.
