Sierra Mountains Quotes

“Nothing truly wild is unclean.”
― John Muir, My First Summer in the Sierra

“The Sierra Nevada is five hundred miles of rock put right. Granite freed by glaciers and lifted through clouds where water, frozen and fine, has scraped and washed it into a high country so brilliant it brings light into night.”
― Willard Wyman

“As long as I was in the actual Sierra I had little to be afraid of. There was good cover, and I was accustomed to constantly being on the alert.”
― Karl May, Old Surehand
