Wild parks are Nature's cathedrals


"The highest value of wild parks is as places of recreation: Nature's cathedrals, where all may gain inspiration and strength and get nearer to God."

The Contemplative John Muir, p. 55

Photo: Temple Crag reflected in Big Pine Lake #2, John Muir Wilderness, Sierra Nevada Range, CA; July 29, 2012.  I hit the trail at 4:00 A.M. on this morning, and hiked by headlamp for two hours to get to this spot.  The sun rose just as I arrived. The teal color of this lake is absolutely amazing!
