50th Anniversary of the Wilderness Act
Just yesterday, I hiked in Desolation Wilderness and am so appreciative of this act. Tonight, celebrating in Taylor Creek Amphitheater seemed ideal.
The Wilderness Act is well known for its succinct and poetic definition of wilderness:
“A wilderness, in contrast with those areas where man and his own works dominate the landscape, is hereby recognized as an area where the earth and its community of life are untrammeled by man, where man himself is a visitor who does not remain.”
