Last month we announced our first ever Instagram contest, #BIbestviews.
The rules were simple: Submit incredible pictures of spectacular views around the world.
Because we received so many entries, we decided to break down the winners into different categories.
Here, we present the winners in the mountain category. These images have us itching to tie up our hiking boots, grab our camping gear, and start trekking.
Didn't submit a mountain view? Not to worry, we'll be releasing more winners in the next few weeks, so keep an eye out. Congratulations to all those selected, and thanks for your submissions!
