Muir and other concerned citizens also founded the Sierra Club, a nonprofit organization promoting outdoor recreation and environmental advocacy. He wrote "only Uncle Sam" could save our country's land for future generations to enjoy, an idea that led to the creation of the National Park Service in 1916. Muir's advocacy helped create several national parks, including Sequoia (1890), Mount Rainier (1899) and Grand Canyon (1908). Inspired by his trip with Muir, Roosevelt set aside more than 230 million acres of public land - an area bigger than the size of Texas - that included five national parks and 18 national monuments. One night, five inches of snow fell, and the president arose to white flakes on his blankets. They spent three days exploring meadows and waterfalls and three nights discussing conservation around campfires. Roosevelt left behind reporters and his Secret Service agents for the company of two park rangers, an army packer, John Muir and the wild. Muir's popular writings caught the attention of President Theodore Roosevelt, who invited him camping in Yosemite. It is part of the universal warfare between right and wrong." - John Muir "The battle for conservation must go on endlessly.

He discovered glaciers in Yosemite and was the first to suggest that ice shaped its valleys. His curiosity carried him further to California and Alaska, where he tracked the movements of glaciers. With a plant press in his backpack, Muir walked more than 1,000 miles from Kentucky to the Gulf of Mexico, gathering specimens along the way. As a young man, Muir studied biology, botany and geology at the University of Wisconsin before venturing to see nature's wonders. In 1849, when Muir turned 11, his family moved to Wisconsin and started a farm, where his nature lessons continued. Muir's grandfather helped kindle Muir's love of nature at an early age by taking him on walks through the Scottish countryside. Muir transformed his adventures into articles and books that sparked peoples' interest in nature. He experienced fantastic adventures - climbing a 100-foot tree in a thunderstorm, inching across a narrow ice bridge in Alaska, and spending a night in a blizzard on Mt. Muir's passion for nature brought him to every continent except Antarctica. "Tracing the ways of glaciers, learning how Nature sculptures mountain-waves in making scenery…beauty that so mysteriously influences every human being, is glorious work." - John Muir
