John Muir

The more time I spend in the Sierra Nevada, the more I begin to understand John Muir's fascination with the "range of light," and the more impressed I become with his achievements as a naturalist, preservationist, and mountaineer. Pictured here are the naturalist John Burroughs (left) and John Muir (right). Click on the photo for a larger image. This is a photo of Muir with Teddy Roosevelt on Glacier Point above Yosemite Valley (again, click on the photo for a larger image). Incidentally, Glacier Point is a lovely place to ski to in the winter.
