Hardback. Condición: New. John Muir wrote many wonderful books about his travels, but one story-about his long walk from San Francisco to Yosemite-is one book he did not author himself. In April 1868, a very young John Muir stepped off a boat in San Francisco and inquired about the quickest way out of town. "But where do you wan…t to go?" was the response, to which Muir replied, "Anywhere that is wild." Using Muir's personal correspondence and published articles, Peter and Donna Thomas have reconstructed the real story of Muir's literal ramblings over California hills and through dales, with lofty Sierra Nevada peaks, Englishmen, and bears mixed in for good measure. The trip is illustrated by charming cut-paper illustrations that take their inspiration from Muir's love of nature. John Muir's story-telling is so compelling that even 150 years later, seeing the world through his eyes makes us want to head out into the wild.

Paperback. Condición: New. A riveting account of one of the most notable personalities of the mountain climbing world!This engaging portrayal of the life of legendary mountaineer Norman Clyde (1885-1972) will amply reward readers hungry for heroes of the past. Clyde made his mark on history with more than 130 first ascents throu…ghout western North America, and many believe he knew the High Sierra better than anyone else, including John Muir. Part of his mystique comes from participating in high-profile mountain rescues and recoveries, in which he is credited with saving a number of lives. Those who had the good fortune to meet Clyde-often with a ninety-pound pack on his back that included an anvil for boot repair, fishing rods, cooking pots, and books in Greek and Latin-never forgot the experience. Biographer Robert C. Pavlik uses Clyde's own words, along with recollections from his family, friends, fellow climbers, and acquaintances, to capture the experiences of a remarkable man and a bygone time "between the pioneers and the rock climbers.".

Hardback. Condición: New. Meet Yosemite's most celebrated tree This entry in the Yosemite Icon series looks up-way up-at the charismatic giant sequoia that captures hearts with its immense size and quirky charm: the Grizzly Giant. As if sprouted in a fairy tale, the Grizzly Giant is a magical presence. The huge, nearly 3,000-yea…r-old tree welcomes all who stroll beneath its tremendous branches and marvel at its trunk. From its snag top to its burn scar, this photographer's favorite has provided a 29-foot-wide backdrop for presidents and philosophers. Its forest companions are furry creatures, striking wildflowers, and other lofty trees; its setting in Yosemite's Mariposa Grove is a place of peace and natural splendor. When the U.S. government protected Yosemite forever, it did so because of Yosemite Valley and because of the incredible giant sequoias nearby. The emblem of the National Park Service includes a sequoia. There's good reason for this reverence and respect: The Grizzly Giant and its fellow sequoias are nothing short of inspiring. Each slim yet elegant title in the Yosemite Icon series gathers stunning photos and insider information to tell the story of one of the park's celebrated landscape elements. Replete with natural and human history, these books are equally enjoyable both at home and on trails: Pop them in your backpack as on-the-go guides or peruse them from your couch to remember your favorite features between visits.

Hardback. Condición: New. This engaging retelling of the Southern Sierra Miwok legend features the great Yosemite Valley monolith, El Capitan, and how it came to be. Mother Grizzly Bear thinks that her two playful cubs are wrestling and having fun along the Merced River while she is checking her fish traps. When she returns to j…oin her sons, however, she discovers the cubs are nowhere to be found. It takes an unlikely hero to bring her cubs safely home. Populated with characters based on real Sierra animals, this story is about the value of all beings, the nature of courage, and the idea that being a hero has very little to do with one's size. Includes notes about the life and culture of the Southern Sierra Miwok and a bibliography. San Souci, Daniel (ilustrador).
