Mountain captions for Instagram that aren't "the mountains are calling"

Most of my mountain photos come from Norway and Alaska, often from a ship deck at 6am. These captions are for the views you don't want to ruin with a cliché. Tap one to copy it.

Short

  1. Snow up top, spring down here.

  2. The ship looks big until the fjord gets involved.

  3. Woke up here. No complaints.

  4. Quiet enough to hear the river from the top.

  5. Fewer people, more pines.

  6. The kind of view that makes the climb feel short.

  7. Thin air, clear head.

  8. The trail was steep. The view didn't care.

  9. Clouds below, coffee in hand.

  10. Small person, big valley.

  11. Every switchback was worth it. Almost.

  12. The mountain didn't move. I did.

Longer, with a story

  1. Six in the morning on deck, and the fjord was already awake.

  2. My legs complained the whole way up and went quiet at the top.

  3. No signal for two days. Didn't miss it once.

  4. We nearly turned back an hour ago. Glad we didn't.

  5. The photo is good. Standing there was better.

  6. The waterfall was louder than the ship's engines.

Funny

  1. Packed light. Regretted it at the summit.

  2. This is my "I'm not out of breath" face.

  3. The view was free. The knees will invoice me tomorrow.

  4. Hiking: walking, but with complaining.

  5. The mountain was calling. I let it go to voicemail twice.

  6. Summit snack tastes better at 1,500 metres.

Questions

  1. Sunrise hike or sunset hike?

  2. Mountains or sea, if you had to pick one?

  3. What's the best view you ever hiked for?

  4. Would you sleep up here?

  5. Norway or Alaska next?

  6. How long would you stay at this viewpoint?
