In this tribute to the grandeur of the Sierras, Muir recounts his journeys by foot through the Yosemite Valley, Mount Whitney, the famed sequoia forests, King's Canyon, and other wilderness areas. With a natural historian's keen eye for flora, geography, and geology, Muir describes glaciers, lakes, trees, and the daily lives of the region's inhabitants. His lyrical narrative, imbued with the deepest understanding and respect for nature, examines the ways in which natural forces shape the landscape and the effects of the changing seasons. The zesty travelogue is accompanied by splendid illustrations of maps, plants, and animals. Originally published in 1894, The Mountains of California continues to delight and inform readers. 538 Mode of access: World Wide Web. 600 10 Muir, John,|d1838-1914|xTravel|zCalifornia. 650 0 Natural history|zCalifornia. 650 0 Natural history|zSierra Nevada (Calif. and Nev.) 650 0 Electronic books. 651 0 California|xDescription and travel. 651 0 Sierra Nevada (Calif. and Nev.)|xDescription and travel. 710 2 hoopla digital. 856 40 |uhttps://www.hoopladigital.com/title/ 12010223?utm_source=MARC|zInstantly available on hoopla. 856 42 |zCover image|uhttps://d2snwnmzyr8jue.cloudfront.net/ csp_9780486826851_180.jpeg
