I camped alone by a lake near Pikes Peak one time, long ago. Was up all hours looking at a small creature swimming along in the middle of the lake, trying to convince myself that this was the American smaller cousin of the Loch Ness monster, Nessie.
The moon was full that night, and it was absolutely breathtaking there, seeing Pikes Peak lit by moonlight.
The mountains are amazing under a full moon.
The stars are pretty amazing when there’s a new moon.
