I have had many powerful and beautiful natural occurrences that I have had the pleasure of experiencing because of Boy Scouts. One of these that combine the power of nature with the beauty of it would be my submit of Mt. Baldy. Just as its name implies there are no trees, grass, or any type of vegetation on top of Mt. Baldy. All there is, is just rocks, snow and ice. As I was climbing the mountain I was on the ground but I still scared of the heights because our so high up in the air and it feels as if you could fall down the mountain since it's nothing but rocks. What made it so different to climb was the wind. At the top of the mountain we felt the full force of seventy mile and hour winds whipping at us. I remember as I was climbing I got down as low as I could because I swore that wind would pick me up and hurl me down the mountain. And actually when we reached the top I quickly dove down on the ground and assumed some cover behind some rocks that blocked the wind for me. Not only did nature show us her might but also her beauty. I could literally see, no kidding, for hundreds of miles in each direction. I felt as if I was on top of the earth. You gain a different perspective on life whenever you summit such a mountain. It is absolutely beautiful to be so high up and look down on all of God's creation in awe.
