International Mountain Day


Mountains are fragile ecosystems that are very important to the Earth. Much of the Earth's drinking water comes from mountains where the snow falls and then it melts and travels to lower elevation. Mountains are also great for recreation. Hiking skiing snowboarding and snowshoeing are all really fun. Also mountain blueberries are really quite tasty. Lot's of people live on mountains. These people tend to be somewhat poor and life for most mountain folk is full of challenges. Look at the picture of this awesome mountain goat.
