A man, in his books, may be said to walk the earth a long time after he is gone Picture Quote #1

How glorious a greeting the sun gives the mountains! To behold this alone is worth the pains of any excursion a thousand times over. The highest peaks burned like islands in a sea of liquid shade.

Lizards of every temper, style, and color dwell here, seemingly as happy and companionable as the birds and squirrels Picture Quote #1

The finest of the glacier meadow gardens lie...imbedded in the upper pine forests like lakes of light Picture Quote #1

To sit in solitude, to think in solitude with only the music of the stream and the cedar to break the flow of silence, there lies the value of wilderness Picture Quote #1
