I hate you. I’m looking out at beautiful downtown Newark, New Jersey. I have a glorious view of rusted-out rooftop air conditioning units, and–wait–I think I see a tree!
How long would it take to walk to the base of Peak 1?

It’s about 3/4 of a mile away before it starts getting steep. The peak is about 3 miles as the crow flies. 12,800 feet in elevation and often shrouded in clouds.
In my 14th-floor office I have natural light through some big windows out onto a hallway that runs around the perimeter of the building, and some great views over downtown Cleveland from the hallway itself, but nothing compared to that. Congrats (and envy) to you.

I am so jealous. I’ve not had a window at work in 18 years. Recently, it’s dark when I get here and dark when I leave and I only see daylight on Sundays. Human beings were not meant to live like these.

Eh, you’ll get bored with it in a week.

I donno. The view from my own house is better (IMHO). I thought I would get jaded and ignore it after a while, but it still takes my breath away.
It is really nice to have some natural sunlight and fresh air. So few office building have honest to god opening windows these days.
