Design an exciting logo that inspires adventure travelers to call me to be their travel agent

Mountain Adventure Travel LLC

I am a travel agent who helps active families and groups experience the most amazing adventure vacations in mountains around the world.

I create custom travel itineraries for travelers who want independence when traveling, want to experience the outdoors in a variety of ways (but not high-adrenaline, motorized type of activities), and experience the local culture.

I need a logo that makes me stand out from the crowd. Mountain scenes are pretty, but they look like so many other logos for gear, ski movies, hunting lodges, etc. That is why I am asking for designs that don't have mountains in them.
I need a logo that is unique.
I need a design that gives a sense of excitement, happiness.
I want to see a design options like a monogram, mascot, or pictorial. I want a logo that can stand alone, without the company name.

I don't want to see a globe or cruise ship.

I like mountains images but I also want to see ideas that don't include mountains. How about a hiking shoe or binoculars or and animal or ... ? Please offer me a logo design that does not have a mountain peak in it!!!!

I don't want clip art. I'm looking for original designs.

Not all my clients are climbing mountain peaks. My clients like to be outdoors and experiencing outdoor pursuits which could be fishing, wildlife viewing, seeing the Northern Lights, snorkeling, walking through a jungle to a volcano in Costa Rica, camping at a lake, and visiting National Parks like the Grand Canyon and Yellowstone.

My target audience: well-educated, active families, professionals, and groups of friends, interest in outdoor adventures, with income of $100,000 or more.

I have a website - http://www.mountainadventuretravel.com

I have just been using cool mountain photos for my website and business card and now it's time for a real logo. I don't like logos with just geometric shapes or circles - makes me think of a doctor or insurance office: boring.
