Answer:

Option C. The statement that best describes the narrator's point of view in the excerpt is that he was in awe of what he saw from the top of the mountain.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the excerpt provided in the question, the narrator describes without a great sense of enthusiasm and excitement his/her experience with hiking a specific mountain by being sarcastic about the whole experience. But it is clear in his/her description, that he/she was in awe of what he/she saw from the top of the mountain as the description says: "I mean, it was only the most spectacular view I'd ever seen in my life."
