“Thousands of tired, nerve-shaken, over-civilized people are beginning to find out that

going to the mountains is going home; that wildness is a necessity; and that mountain parks and reservations are useful not only as fountains of timber and irrigating rivers, but as fountains of life.” John Muir (1838-1914) The Father of Our National Parks
