“The tendency nowadays to wander in wildernesses is delightful to see. 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 from The Writings of John Muir Read more about wilderness in “The Last Quiet Places” with Gordon Hempton Photo by Jeremy Dunlop / Flickr, cc by-nc-nd 2.0
