LOOK: The John Muir Trail: Along the High, Wild Sierra (Nat Geographic April '89)

The Skygreen Leopards - Jesus Was Californian

I picked up a load of National Geographics at a second hand store not far from Ida's parents house a couple of weekends back and one of the articles that really jumped out at me was this one on The John Muir Trail from the April issue of 1989. I've included a few examples here, but to see the whole article head over to my Flickr page.

Winters of My Life is a portrait of Howard Weamer. For the past 35 years he has spent his winters as a hutkeeper in Yosemite's backcountry. He fills his days writing, reading, photographing, and being an ambassador to mountain culture. This is a brief look into his world and why he chooses to stay.

Yosemite Nature Notes

Yosemite National Park have made their own series of nature films, with each episode focusing on specific aspects of the park. I have only been in Yosemite once and that was when I was 14 years old, so my memories are pretty hazy. The one lingering memory I have of it was a car door that had been peeled open by a bear on the hunt for food in the car park we had parked in. Episodes include Wildflowers, Yosemite Falls, Wilderness, Half Dome, Snow, Maps, Tuolumne River, Snow Line, Frazil Ice and Rock Fall. All well worth watching!
