On his first breathtaking view of Yosemite in 1869, young John Muir had a life-changing moment – a surge of euphoria as he wandered, overwhelmed in the great natural beauty of a landscape unlike anything he had seen before “ We are now in the mountains ,” he wrote, “ and they are in us... filling every pore and cell of us. ”

As a self-made naturalist, philosopher, geologist, author, inventor and conservationist, Muir spent his life studying in “ The University of the Wilderness ,” translating his intense passion for nature into books that inspired a movement to protect “Nature’s temples.” Follow Muir’s path on this unique tour that traces his trajectory from San Francisco to the Sierra Nevada, embracing Kings Canyon, Sequoia National Park, and his beloved Yosemite.
