One of the best ways to see tree flowers is to climb one of the tallest trees and to get into close, tingling touch with them, and then look broad.

All the world lies warm in one heart, yet the Sierra seems to get more light than other mountains.

Of all the mountain ranges I have climbed, I like the Sierra Nevada the best.
