Summary:
"John Muir is intimately connected with Yosemite, as this appreciation of the region's majestic landscapes perfectly demonstrates. His classic nature writing is informed by the beloved conservationist's years of exploration, from the heights of Yosemite Falls to the tremendous rush of its snowy avalanches. An essential companion for visitors, it offers rich appraisals of the meadows and valleys of this natural wonder, exuding an almost mystical love for the area's beauty"-- Provided by publisher.
