I have climbed it twice...once a long day hike and once overnight camping in August when we awoke to the mountain covered in snow.
My husband climbed it last week with a friend and brought back some beautiful photos of the mountains meadows of flowers.
The winters on Mt. Outram are harsh, covering the mountain with snow most of the year. In the two months or so that the ground is exposed to the warming rays of the sun, a profusion of flowers make their appearance. Their life is short but their beauty unsurpassed.
I love to give God glory for the amazing wonder of His floral garden displays that outdo any human gardener. Only God can make a mountain.. and only God can speak the flowers into bloom!
Enjoy the photos !
The lake we camped beside.
The day was cloudy so the views were hindered ... but on a clear day from the peak of Outram the mountain vistas stretch into the distance as far as you can see ! Psa 72:3 "The mountains shall bring peace to the people." There is a sense of peace that is undeniable on a mountain. Enjoying the stillness of the mountain heights far above the madding crowd of the earth somewhere far below and far away is an awesome feeling. The presence of the Lord is so real !
"The flowers appear on the earth; the time of the singing of birds is come." Son 2:12
