He introduces us to: . the glacier meadows and wild geysers of Yellowstone . the \"magnificent mirror for the woods and mountains and sky\" that is Yellowstone Lake . the coniferous forests of the Sierra Nevada, including the beautiful giant sequoia . the grizzly bears of the mountain ranges . and much more. Scottish-American naturalist, explorer, and writer JOHN MUIR (1838-1914) helped found the Sierra Club in 1892, and served as its first president.
