How glorious a greeting the sun gives the mountains!

~ John Muir

 

John Muir is the individual most responsible for the creation of Yosemite National Park. The Scottish-born American naturalist convinced President Teddy Roosevelt to protect Yosemite (including Yosemite Valley), Sequoia, Grand Canyon and Mt. Rainier as National Parks. Marvelling at the beauty of Yosemite Falls and its surroundings you realize how thankful you have to be.
