A journey on the John Muir Trail along the Hiawassi River, is a journey back in time! Especially when you read his very own words of the journey written in his journals from the trip, "A Thousand mile walk to the gulf". This digital short is best sampled before a study on the adventures in conservation of the Sierra Club's VIP, John Muir.
This is also a great entry point in a study of Hardin's favorite land management essay, "A Tragedy of the Commons". Chattanooga is a great place to compare and contrast federal and private land use and conservation organizations. We look at Wild Trails, represented by many of the runners in the run sections of the video. Southeastern Climbers Coalition have done some amazing land-access partnerships.
