I went spring bear hunting yesterday and struck out on whacking a bear, but I don't feel like I missed out completely... Especially with the views that I was privy to while I was up in the mountains. This is up near Cascade, Idaho, and the views, they sure don't suck.
Anyone else want to share a snap of their favorite view while out in the wild?

There is a bear in the image. Great White Hunter.
Cockroach Bay just before sunrise.
Ten mile run to get bait and then return to within a 1/4 mile for a day of catching snook. Stopped counting at 120 in the boat.

Hiking near my home in southern Utah Easter day
Went bear hunting in Idaho in 2017. This is the Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness.
First motorcycle ride of the season.
Followed by a little wine on the patio with my honey....and the 300 PRC data Hornady just published.

Full disclosure: I have stolen all of these and made one incredible screen saver

It does but if you’re 80 miles off the coast fishing in the canyons you can’t see land so it sets on the water.
The sun rises are pretty good too.

Picture of Denali that I took while in Alaska
That is at Gornergrat, above Zermatt, Switzerland. We prefer wintertime views, but both are spectacular. Tourist crowds are down in the winter too.
Man, I've been telling my wife we need to visit Switzerland, how cold would you say it gets during winter?
Cheers!!
Generally, it's not bad. Lower elevations, in the mid 30's. Obviously, as you go higher, temps go down. Gornergrat is ~10K feet and the day I took that shot, it was between 20 and 25 farenheit. It can get colder, but it's a bit unusual.
If you go, figure out the trains and don't waste your money and vacation on rental cars. Go to Zermatt/Gornergrat and to Wengen/Kleine Scheidegg (take the Jungfraubahn train to the top). If you don't spend time at elevation as part of everyday life, don't stay at hotels above 6 or 7,000 feet....Day trips are fine, but trying to sleep at 11 or 12,000 feet sucks (I'm from Seattle and quit climbing decades ago. Getting old).

Not much of a view, but it goes on for miles. Fishing ain't bad to boot.
