Windows fog with breath as the driver talks quietly about miners and daredevils while the road tightens into a series of switchbacks. Trees thin to krummholz, then to rocks and lichen; the air tastes colder and somehow thinner. By the time the Summit House appears like a weather-beaten lighthouse at 14,115 feet, the valley below looks like a stitched quilt and the horizon slides into Kansas.
