Definition of natural beauty: Unrefined uncontrolled raw moments of inhuman creations nature presents.

My experience: I was backpacking with a friend in the Goat Rocks Wilderness. We went on a 15 mile day hike the second day up to the top of Old Snowy, a mountain. After reaching half way my mother got tired and decided to go back but my friend and I decided to make it to the top. We finally reached the base area of the mountain and looked up. The mountain was huge, looming over us. I could make out two small specks of hikers making their way down the steep slope. An hour later we made it to the half summit after an exhausting struggle up the trail. The last half mile we climbed on out hands and knees up a wall of loos rocks along the final ridge. Finally we made it to the top. Standing on the tip of the mountain I could see the entire world. Green forest rolled over hills like a carpet. Snow coated the tips of tall mountains. Below us Goat Lake was an opaque turquoise gem, shimmering in the sunlight. My breath was taken away. No human could ever create something quite so beautiful. This artwork could only be made by thousands of years of changing nature, perfect and uncontrolled.
