Our National Parks

Reissued to encourage and inspire travelers everywhere since its release in 1901, this account of naturalist John Muir's detailed observations of Yosemite, Yellowstone, and the other forest reservations of the West continue to serve as a reminder that, as Muir so acutely says, “Wildness is a necessity; and that mountain parks and reservations are useful not only as fountains of timber and irrigating rivers, but as fountains of life.” His warmth, humor, and passion for these lands is sure to spur any naturalist at heart to action and travel. The message that these writings carry now more than ever contain more weight and urgency as the true wild places in our world grow increasingly more scarce and this book ever the more valuable to read.
