Wilderness lets a place have a BEYOND to it.

"The very existence of wilderness adds quality to what surrounds it . . . Wilderness lets a place have a BEYOND to it.  Wilderness symbolizes the freedom to choose what kinds of terrain you . . . hope someday to enter or to save for your children forever."

David Brower
1st Director of the Sierra Club
