Great men are those who walked ahead of their times and showed the world a path worthy of following. The world has given birth to many such great visionaries who foresaw the future of our planet. John Muir, a Scottish environmentalist, was a leader and visionary, and above all was instrumental in bringing about awareness among people regarding the need to conserve nature.
While John Muir was born in Scotland in 1838, his family had to immigrate to Wisconsin when he was just a young boy. As a young man, he had an opportunity to hike to the Gulf of an opportunity to hike to the Gulf of Mexico. This experience ignited in him his life-long passion for hiking. Muir spent much of his life wandering in the wildness of the United States.
Muir worked tirelessly and his efforts led to the creation of Yosemite National Park, Sequoia National Park and many other conservation areas.
