What is Across Yosemite's Wilderness: A Trailblazing Woman's Career Protecting the Park's Backcountry about?

Step into Yosemite’s backcountry with trailblazing ranger Laurel Boyers as she shares a life dedicated to protecting wild wonders Across Yosemite’s Wilderness is a memoir about the life and career of Laurel Boyers—the first woman to serve as the Wilderness Manager in the park’s history. Laurel also became the first woman to do full-time mounted backcountry patrol throughout the almost 95% of the park that is the Yosemite wilderness. This two-part memoir begins with a travelogue of her last mounted patrol of the park as a ranger. This section, a chapter for each day of the patrol, takes readers on a journey across the wild, roadless backcountry of the park. The narrative of the patrol is interspersed with park history, stories from her career, descriptions of the geography and vegetation, and Laurel’s reflections on her over 30 years of service. This section immerses readers in the details of a backcountry patrol, introduces them to the park, and sets the stage for the chronological story of Laurel’s life. Part two tells her chronological story, beginning with deep roots. Her great grandfather ran a way station for early visitors to the park, welcoming Teddy Roosevelt and John Muir
