| The high peaks
in the region are utterly trail-less, but for a truly wild experience,
the very hardy bushwhacker can find scramble routes to all the summits,
though the sheer length of such rambles combined with the preponderance
of cactus, spiny agave, and loose rock means that very few indeed
ever set foot on these high points. These few however are rewarded
by a view that will not be soon forgotten, for these peaks stand well
separated from their neighbors, towering to heights of up to two kilometres
above the surrounding plains and hills, and often sporting vertical
walls many hundreds of meters tall. Standing upon one of these giants,
one has the perspective normally enjoyed only by the raptors that
sail the surrounding air currents, and the pain of a hundred perforations
on one's bloodied limbs is forgotten for a few euphoric moments. |
