Imagining Walking on Mountain Tops

The closest I have been to being up a mountain is along the highway. I've never climbed a mountain and am not sure if I will get the chance, but its something I like to imagine when I look at the peaks. What would the air be like? Would the snow seem as fresh as it does when I see it after a new snowfall? How would I get up or down from there? Sometimes I even see little houses on top of certain mountains and think that would be an amazing place to wake up every day.

The peaks always have a way of captivating my imagination and taking me to a place where my thoughts can be simpler and I can ponder such things.
