Some people write that honoring the great scenes like the waterfalls of the Sierras in California is to raise up the places that wealthy people have the means to see. Low income people could struggle to see some of the land's great public places. Low income people could struggle to experience what these places have to offer. This is one of the great debates of our day. I understand it and I would like to hear what others think about it. I agree with getting out whatever the opportunity.
See what you can, first locally and then regionally. Plan to see more.
Theodore Roosevelt said, "The Grand Canyon fills me with awe. It is beyond comparison—beyond description; absolutely unparalleled throughout the wide world... Let this great wonder of nature remain as it now is. Do nothing to mar its grandeur, sublimity and loveliness. You cannot improve on it. But what you can do is to keep it for your children, your children's children, and all who come after you, as the one great sight which every American should see."
See what you can. See this land. Begin as soon as you can.
