This (Idaho) is What it's all About.

Mornings like this are why I love smoking a pipe. Solitude, mountains, and a furry companion at my side.

For those interested, this is the Owyhee mountain range, south of Nampa, Idaho. Beautiful and mysterious, and forever one of my favorite places.

Beautiful photos. And in very good company. Thanks for sharing.

Great photos.

I love northern Nevada, southern Idaho scenery.

Love those moments when the setting, mood, and company all line up perfectly with an opportunity for a pipe. Enjoy!

Lunting at its finest.

You ever consider going pro?

I'll kill for place like that. We have paved trails, good for bikes. But lacks the nature.

And all this time, I thought the Hokey-Pokey was what it’s all about.

Awesome views! Thanks for sharing

Sister in-law lives in Caldwell, Idaho and we've been there a few times. Love the scenery of Idaho, (and Montana, and Wyoming, and Colorado, and Utah, and New Mexico-well you get the drift).

Tobacco for me is a work time activity. When I kick back nicotine isn't involved and I go to see who's visiting the pond.

Beautiful pictures! When I look for that experience, I get in my UTV and ride to the very back corner of my property. Dog is in the seat with me. This location is the most isolated and has a decent view. I try to leave my phone at the house.

I love it. Kudos!

Occasionally, I’ll take the old truck and nothing else. No dogs, no kids, no wife, no camera, etc. Sometimes it’s just me and the wildlife, and more recently, a pipe (again). I’ve missed it. Had three bowls in the front seat of my pickup this morning watching a Common Merganser dive and the sun come up over the mountains.

Nice pics and a nice pup to accompany you. It's one of the best things on life.

Wow these are are breathtaking

I absolutely empathize with those “special moments” when the pipe, the place, and the companions all come together.

But you couldn’t pay me to spend much time in that locale! I much prefer civilization.

Beautiful country up there!

That is gorgeous. I love living on the high desert.

Some of the best smokes I have are when I go up in the mountains and find a beautiful meadow or lake to sit by, think, be alone and just enjoy my pipe.

Great scenery and a lot of the hills near the Moscow/Pullman area are reminiscent of this classic, tis said to be one of if not the most viewed images in the world. I'm sure quite a few of you will recognize it immediately.

I can not only see that picture, I can hear it too.
