Steep Trails is a collection of essays and observations by the renowned naturalist and environmentalist John Muir, originally published in 1918. In this book, Muir takes readers on a journey through some of the most breathtaking landscapes in North America, including the Sierra Nevada, the Rocky Mountains, and the Alaskan wilderness. Muir's vivid descriptions of the natural world are accompanied by his insightful observations on the relationship between humans and nature, and the importance of conservation and preservation. From his encounters with grizzly bears and mountain goats to his musings on the spiritual significance of the wilderness, Steep Trails is a captivating read for anyone interested in the beauty and power of the natural world.Lilies are rare in Utah; so also are their companions the ferns and orchids, chiefly on account of the fiery saltness of the soil and climate. You may walk the deserts of the Great Basin in the bloom time of the year, all the way across from the snowy Sierra to the snowy Wahsatch, and your eyes will be filled with many a gay malva, and poppy, and abronia, and cactus.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
