My Wilderness the Pacific West 1ST Edition Quotes

“At Corral Lake I sat by the fire, studying maps of the Cascades. I soon reached a conclusion that holds good throughout most of America. Apart from Alaska, there are few places left where one can get more than ten miles from any road. This country between Adams on the south and Rainier on the north was largely roadless when I first knew it. If we kept to the high country, we could hike for weeks without reaching a road of any kind. Now there are jeep roads and main highways over which the tourists throng. Few, if any, ever come on foot. Recreation is where the automobile can go. The car is our leash that keeps us confined to a small radius.”
