National Parks


Yes, you feel so much more alive in the wilderness!

“Thousands of tired, nerve-shaken, over-civilized people are beginning to find out that going to the mountains is going home; that 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.” – John Muir, Our National Parks (1901)

John Muir was born on this day in 1838! What’s your favorite quote from the “Father of the National Park Service”? www.nps.gov/jomu
