STEEP TRAILS (GIBBS SMITH)

John Muir not only explored the American West but also fought for its preservation. Steep Trails collects together the essays and letters written as he travelled, which capture the personal, heartfelt connection he had with the lands he roamed. Muir's writing is immensely relevant as the world increasingly tries to reconnect with the Earth. Steep Trails offers the best of the funny, charming, educational, and exalted wanderings of John Muir over nearly three decades of his life.
