Touch of the Tundra ..

Most of us feel with Thoreau that "the wilderness is near as well as dear to every man." We come to Denali to watch; to catch a glimpse of the primeval. We come close to the tundra flowers, the lichens, and the animal life. Each of us will take some inspiration home; a touch of the tundra will enter our lives--and, deep inside, make of us all poets and kindred spirits. - Adolph Murie, biologist
