He felt ill equipped for the work, and yet the opportunity thrilled his adventurous spirit. With a notebook tied to his belt, he set out for a summer he would never forget. My First Summer in the Sierra is Muirs classic account of that extraordinary journey. It was not published until 1911, by which time he had become well known for his work as a naturalist and conservationist. One hundred years later, we can still experience Muirs transcendent joy, as he climbed the mountains, explored the lakes and streams, and studied the regions flowers and trees. His words have since beckoned countless travelers to Yosemite National Park.
