This collection of essays and photographs, originally published as a special issue of California History, the journal of the California Historical Society, documents the creation and management of California's first three national parks, focusing on the debate over preservation versus development. As the authors of these essays remind us, tourists visited Yosemite long before its establishment as a national park; and the issues of park development so hotly debated today were raised and debated first in Yosemite, nearly a hundred years ago.

John Muir (1838–1914) ranks among America's most important and influential environmentalists and nature writers. Devoted to the preservation of wilderness areas, Muir founded the Sierra Club and was active in the establishment of Yosemite National Park. Our National Parks, originally published in 1901, includes ten articles that previously appeared in The Atlantic Monthly. Muir wrote them in hopes of exciting interest in the parks, certain that visitors would fall in love with the scenic grandeur as he had—and that their enthusiasm would ensure the parks' preservation. Six of this volume's ten chapters are devoted to Muir's beloved Yosemite, exploring the forests, fountains, streams, and animals of the Sierra Nevada. The great naturalist also visits the meadows, geysers, waterfalls, and lakes of other parks, including Yellowstone, Sequoia, and General Grant. Muir's warmth and humor brighten every page, and vintage photographs provide atmospheric accompaniment to his words. These essays are essential reading for anyone wishing to visit (or revisit) the national parks of the Western United States as well as those who want to help protect America’s wilderness areas.

Granite Pathways lays out the fascinating history of the trails in the backcountry regions of Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks - the twin High Sierra parks at the southern end of California's Sierra Nevada mountain range. The book seeks answers to the questions of who built the trails and why.The story begins with the contributions of the Native American peoples of the region - particularly the Mono and Paiutes - and then shifts its gaze to the stories left behind by the late nineteenth century shepherds, miners, scientists, and recreationists who first explored the range and brought it to the attention of the world - individuals like Theodore Solomons, Bolton Coit Brown, and Joseph N. Le Conte. These mountaineers, and many others, all played important roles in the exploration and mapping of this rugged region. In the early decades of the twentieth century, the creation of federal reserves like Sequoia National Park and the Sequoia, Sierra, and Inyo national forests brought new energy to the movement to build trails in the High Sierra. Destinations like the Kings Canyon and Mount Whitney became the target of wilderness travelers. The Sierra Club initiated its outing program and began to bring recreational groups to remote features like the Kern Canyon, Rae Lakes, and Evolution Basin.Interest in wilderness travel in the High Sierra invigorated trail construction by the U.S. Forest Service and National Park Service and led to the construction of iconic routes like the John Muir Trail and High Sierra Trail. By the end of the New Deal era in the 1930s, thanks to the efforts of the Civilian Conservation Corps and other federal programs, the region contained over a thousand miles of trails.Improved trails led to the creation of Kings Canyon National Park and ultimately to the designation of the John Muir and the Sequoia-Kings Canyon wilderness areas. Granite Pathways explores all these stories, delving into not only the history of the region's trails but also the story of how this scenic wilderness region rose from obscurity to become one of the nation's most prized wilderness destinations.
