John Muir Describes The Sugcr Pines

When the United States Forest Service recently took control of a mile-square of giant Sugar Pines in Tuolumne County, California, it brought to mind the words of the great naturalist, John Muir, in describing thesc 300-foot high trees, indigenous only to Southern Oregon and Northern California:

"No two are alike, and thowgh th,ey toss owt their im' mense arm,s in what mi,gltt seem ertrwagant gestures, they neaer lose th.eir erpressioro of serene majesty. They are priests of the pi,nes, and seem ever to be ad.dressing the surrotmding forest.

"The main branches are sometimes 40 feet long, yet persistently simple, seld,orn diaiding at all, ercepting near thc end; but anything like a bare cable apfearance is preztented. by the smoJl turseled branchlets that ertend all around, them. When these swperb limbs szaeep out symmetrically on all sides, a crown of 60 or 70 feet wide is f ormed,,'which, gracefwlly posed on the swmmit of the noble sltaf t, is a glorious obiect."
