Muir's love letter to the canyon he thought could rival Yosemite itself. In this vivid piece, he descends the great gorge of the Kings River: sheer granite, thundering water, sugar pines, and gardens hanging from the cliffs, arguing that it deserved protection no less than its famous neighbor. You will discover the passion that later helped make Kings Canyon a national park. Short, thunderous, and grand. Stand on the rim with the sample.
