replying to @YoseConservancy @YoseConservancy A2. Is it wrong if the first word I think of is "crowds"? The next words were "rocks" and "gorgeous scenery" and then "sequoias" though! #ParkChat

Q3. #Yosemite & its park peers have inspired countless writers. What are your park-related reading recommendations? (Or, if you don’t have a book in mind, your favorite park- or nature-themed quote!) #ParkChat

replying to @YoseConservancy @YoseConservancy The Yosemite Valley. So much magnificence packed into such a small area. See Q11. #ParkChat

replying to @Parkasaur @Parkasaur @YoseConservancy Oh the crowds - the valley gets so crazy, but you get just a little off the road and it's a different world. #ParkChat

A3. The Laws Guide. Don't leave home without it (if you're heading to the Sierra Nevada, that is). Not a literary book, but worth reading again and again! #ParkChat

replying to @YoseConservancy @YoseConservancy A2. Awe. I was in just complete awe of everything when I was there. The view from the valley up to the mountains. The view from the mountains down to the valley. Standing next to the sequoias. My heart was just exploding with awe. #parkchat

replying to @YoseConservancy @YoseConservancy A3: I always recommend @andrea_lankford's Ranger Confidential for anyone interested in life as a #parkranger. And I'm currently reading Ishi: Last of His Tribe, which is connected to @LassenNPS. Of course, @WildWithinHer's book on @NCascadesNPS is a must! #ParkChat

A3) I have yet to read a Yosemite-specific book, but I do feel a strong tie with the park to many John Muir quotes. #parkchat https://t.co/lBm4zKY5uU
