25 JOHN MUIR QUOTES TO INSPIRE WANDERLUST
John Muir, also known as "John of the Mountains" and “Father of our National Parks,” devoted his life to the preservation of our forests, mountains, rivers and streams. We have John Muir to thank for many of the beautiful National Parks we have today. He helped influence Theodore Roosevelt and members of Congress to protect the land by creating National Parks and Monuments. Sequoia National Park, Yosemite, and many others are all protected due to his conservation efforts. Right here we have put together several of our favorite John Muir quotes to inspire your wanderlust to get outside and explore the great outdoors.
