There's a point on every mountain trail when the world below fades-and you find yourself walking through mist, wind, and silence as if between two realms. That's where this book begins. Cloudpaths is my journey into the sky: a guide to the high-altitude trails where weather touches your skin like a whisper and elevation lifts more than just your boots.I wrote this book for those who have felt the pull of the horizon line-those curious about what lies above the treeline, where the thin air sharpens every breath and clouds are no longer above you, but around you. In these pages, I invite you into ridgeline fogs, sunlit summit mists, and sky-colored solitude across the world's rooftop trails.Each chapter blends first-hand trail experience with poetic reflection, trail guidance, altitude wisdom, and sensory storytelling. Whether you're planning your first alpine hike or dreaming from your reading chair, this guide will lift your imagination to higher ground.Come walk the cloudpaths with me-where we hike not just across mountains, but through the atmosphere itself.
