Royal Mountain

Royal Mountain to me is one of the greatest places on earth. From my first experiences to my most recent happenings, Royal Mountain has grabbed deep into my life. Something new and thrilling awaits every trip to Royal Mountain. Just saying the word royal mountain I immedialy picture all the aspects of the mountain. I can just picture myself rolling into the stone filled parking lot looking up to the square shaped blue lodge, now with an addition.
