A Road Scholar program by John Wallace

The well-known mountaineer, explorer, and naturalist led a life filled with extraordinary adventure and twists of fate. Remarkable tales abound from John Muir's boyhood and youth to his travels late in life. John Wallace, as Mr. Muir, will take audiences back 100 years as he relives in glorious detail some of Muir's most breathtaking, marvelous, and human experiences. Hear about the perilous night on Mount Shasta, riding out an avalanche in Yosemite, and lessons learned from other mortals, including the small dog Stickeen.
