John Muir's Celebration of the Yosemite Valley and National Park
This deluxe, unabridged reprint Legacy Edition of John Muir's 1912 The Yosemite is part study of natural history, part travel guide of the majestic Yosemite Valley and National Park. Join the Great Wanderer Muir as he walks the trails of the Yosemite valley and describes in his characteristically rich language the landscapes and points of interest of the Yosemite National Park area while sharing his keen observations about wildlife, trees, and the lay of the land.
Muir describes the unique treasures that the Yosemite area provides to visitors from his day. From the now-disappeared Hetch Hetchy Valley to Half Dome to the ancient Yosemite glaciers, you'll see trails in a new way once you read Muir's astute perspectives on life in the wilds! Learn about the best places to visit the park in Muir's day while gleaning from his notes on the trees, flowers, birds, peaks, valleys, and weather of this magical land.
This book makes a perfect gift for backpacking, camping, and nature lore enthusiasts who want to reflect on the Yosemite of old, and know what it means to protect a national park. Muir's keen eyes and poetic pen capture the thousands of species of wildlife, plants, and trees that call the western mountains their home. Teach yourself how to see the world like a naturalist and appreciate the sheer multitude of life that the wilderness hosts! This book represents the rich history of the American outdoors, natural history, and camping tradition, and belongs on the bookshelf of every outdoors enthusiast.
