The mountains are calling

The mountains are calling and I must go.
- John Muir


This famous quote from a letter written to Muir's sister Sarah Muir Galloway, on September 3rd, 1873 has forever left its mark.

What does it mean? In the letter to Sarah, Muir uses it to conclude his letter to her. I suspect he always had one foot in the mountains. Regardless of where he was at or what he was doing, his mind was never far from his greatest love...The Mountains.

So the next time you get that feeling, that feeling the mountains are calling you, GO!
