Steep Trails is a collection of essays and sketches written by the famous naturalist and preservationist John Muir. The book takes readers on a journey through the American wilderness, exploring the beauty and majesty of the country's mountains, forests, and rivers. Muir's vivid descriptions of the natural world are accompanied by his musings on the importance of conservation and the need to protect these precious resources. The essays in Steep Trails cover a range of topics, from Muir's travels in Alaska and the Sierra Nevada to his experiences with Native American tribes and his thoughts on the role of spirituality in nature. Through his writing, Muir inspires readers to appreciate the wonders of the natural world and to take action to protect it for future generations.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.
