“Wilderness is not only a haven for native plants and animals but it is also a refuge from society. Its a place to go to hear the wind and little else, see the stars and the galaxies, smell the pine trees, feel the cold water, touch the sky and the ground at the same time, listen to coyotes, eat the fresh snow, walk across the desert sands, and realize why its good to go outside of the city and the suburbs. Fortunately, there is wilderness just outside the limits of the cities and the suburbs in most of the United States, especially in the West.” FeelsLittlesStatesStarsWaterRealizingWalksAnimalUnitedCitiesUnited StatesTreeSkyHavensWindColdLimitsPlantWestSmellSnowDesertSandNativeWildernessRefugeGalaxySuburbsPlaces To GoPlants And AnimalsCold WaterCoyotesPine TreesDesert SandFresh Snow Author:John Muir
