You will be introduced to
both Muir the man and his profound love of wildness
as you create your journal with "stirring" quotes
from Muir himself. You'll hear tales of thrilling
adventures from being in the wilderness straight
from Muir's own writings, such as "The Perilous
Night on Mount Shasta", when Muir freezing in the
midst of a blizzard was simultaneously boiled and
blistered in hot springs, or the time he took an
astonishing ride down a Yosemite Valley canyon wall
on a snow avalanche! Be sure to ask John Muir
questions about his adventures and enjoy a nibble of
bread and a sip of tea - a John Muir staple!
Materials are provided. Space is limited and is
offered on a first-come, first-served basis. This
activity is best for adults or children ages 12 and
up. Please note: children under 18 years of age must
be accompanied by an adult.

These productions, with Mr. Stetson in the title role, have been presented in Yosemite National Park since 1983 to more than a quarter of a million visitors. Additionally, the Muir shows have toured throughout the country to universities, parks, museums, wilderness and environmental organizations from Washington D.C. to Hawaii. Mr. Stetson lectures frequently on the arts and the environment, and spends a considerable portion of his time promoting the performing arts in the national parks. Lee's career has included founding and managing the Hawaii Performing Arts Company, being the Artistic Manager of both the Hawaii Theatre Festival and the Antique Theatre Festival of Idaho, and freelance directing throughout the Northwest and in Los Angeles.
