First and foremost a researcher of the environment, Muir believed that by spending time in nature, he could more deeply understand the earth and all of the knowledge it has to offer. During one of his numerous expeditions in the Yosemite Valley in 1869, Muir remarks that “…these lawless wanderings will be valuable as suggestive beginnings… if I should return to the awkward rules & laws of civilization & be buried as a strand into the thick of society.” He knows that if he returns

A memorable Journey The time I went to Yosemite it was amazing an amazing experience. It was peaceful and all you heard in the morning the birds chirping it's like in those Disney movies you hear birds and it's so peaceful.
