Steep Trails
John Muir and William Frederic Badè
It opens with wild wool and climbs to a perilous night on the summit of Mount Shasta, storm closing in. John Muir gathers his rambles through the mountains and deserts of the American West, geologist's eye and poet's heart together. Bracing, luminous, and wild. Lace your boots for some of the finest mountain writing ever set down.
