John Muir, Parks Pioneer

Join Ben & Pia on a MEGA exciting journey back in time to meet John Muir, the explorer whose footsteps helped protect Yosemite National Park! This kid-friendly HISTORY adventure tells how a Scottish-born naturalist walked a thousand miles, studied glaciers, and camped under giant sequoias — even guiding President Theodore Roosevelt on a snowy fireside visit that changed how the country cared for wild places. Historical Fun Fact: John Muir was nearly blind for weeks after an eye injury in a workshop — that loss led him to choose a life of walking, observing, and writing about nature. Did you know? Which do you think came first: Muir's long solo walk south or his famous Yosemite explorations with glaciers and towering cliffs? Ben & Pia host this cozy, curious tale with wonder, science, and warm storytelling.
