Are you ready to look up from your cell phones and step out into the wild?

It’s exciting. Enlightened people are looking up from their cell phones and stepping out into the wild. John Muir is the one man that people should thank for saving the wild for them to recharge, reawaken, and revive all their senses.

John Muir’s advocacy for nature inspires us today. The John Muir Trail is a testament to his efforts. When you trot down his trail, you’ll start echoing his mantra.

The more time I spend out there, the more I learn about myself. The more I gain perspective. The more I feel renewed.
