Why would a young man… an educated and intelligent young man… hike 700 miles, walk into a strange cemetery where he had never been and knew no one buried there… then unknowingly lie down on an important grave and go to sleep? t was John Muir, who was a naturalist and a conservationist and is remembered as one of the fathers of the US National Park system. Today there are mountains, forests, parks, and two John Muir Trails, one in California in the Sierra Nevada and one in Tennessee in the Cumberland Mountains. So, why did he come to the cemetery/ and which grave did he sleep on? Stick around, we’ll look at the clues, and I’ll tell you my take on it.
