The Scottish-born naturalist was the driving force behind modern conservation in the USA, and his essays, letters and books have been read by millions. His spirit and enthusiasm for the beauty of the natural environment steers the path this guide takes, providing inspiration to you to get out and explore the natural world, to walk, trek, cycle and discover, while at the same time preserving these areas for the future.
"Keep close to Nature's heart... and break clear away,
once in a while, and climb a mountain
or spend a week in the woods.
Wash your spirit clean."
– John Muir
