The Grand Cañon of the Colorado

"The Grand Cañon of the Colorado" by John Muir introduced countless people to the glorious Grand Canyon. His work as an environmentalist gave him the expertise he needed to write about this natural marvel. Described in great detail, Muir was able to create a vivid text that allowed those who would never see the canyon to picture it, while inspiring others to go on a trip to see it for themselves.
