Thats always the advice I hear, but where I hunt - getting high doesn't give you long views of park pockets, sparce timber, etc. Instead, it gives you more views of dark, thick timber, steel shady slopes, etc. If there are places you can see elk with glass, its gonna be a Looooooong way off and a nasty hike to get there. You aint getting there today.
Maybe I'm not going high enough. 11,800 on my last trip, and all I was looking at was peaks above tree line, and timber too thick to penetrate.
