John Muir, famous for his naturalist essays and books, was over 70 years old when he wrote “The Yosemite” as a reflection on the beauty of the national park. Muir was a naturalist, so he was highly invested in describing the landscape, flora, and fauna of Yosemite National Park. He even said that “no temple with manmade hands can compare with Yosemite.” Muir knew the terrain well, having hiked and climbed Cathedral Peak, Mount Dana, and the old Indian trail that lead to Mono Lake.
