About this title

Reviews

Tucked away in a spectacular corner of California's Sierra Nevada Mountains is a piece of land containing a canyon that many people call the most beautiful in the United States and a grove of trees that is one of the oldest living things on this planet. Naturalist John Muir helped convince Congress that this area--not far from his beloved Yosemite--was worthy of protection, but the Kings Canyon and Sequoia national parks are classic examples of conservationism gone awry. This booklet, prepared by the U.S. National Park Service, delves into the often troubled history of our country's national parks, as evidenced by the chaotic history of this wilderness wonderland. Yet it also whets the appetite of anyone looking for a unique vacation destination. Essential for public libraries.
