"The Mountains" by Stewart Edward White is a nonfiction narrative written in the early 20th century. The book chronicles the author's adventures and experiences in the California mountains, focusing on the preparation and challenges of exploration in the wilderness.

At the start of the narrative, the author sets the stage for a journey through a variety of mountain landscapes and trails, emphasizing the beauty and danger found within them. The first chapter introduces a favored ascent, the Cold Spring Trail, explaining the thrilling yet risky nature of the path. The author vividly describes the emotional responses elicited when climbers reach the ridge and are awed by breathtaking views of distant mountains, which evokes a sense of wonder. As the story unfolds, the author hints at a larger expedition that involves meticulous planning, knowledge of horses, and a deep understanding of the wilderness, suggesting that adventure is not only about the landscapes encountered but also about the personal growth experienced along the way.
