Our Favorite John Muir Sketches

Last year, we released the Blackwing 211, our tribute to John Muir and his impact on the field of naturalism. Muir was a noted explorer, but he was also an avid sketcher. Our hometown of Stockton, CA is also home to the University of the Pacific and the John Muir Papers, which we explored in preparation for the Blackwing 211 launch. In honor of Muir’s birthday, we’ve gathered ten of our favorite sketches from his extensive catalog of journals stored at that archive.

Kings Canyon National Park – Canyons – North Fork Kings River

Sierra Nevada – Rocks – Rock Formation

Sierra Nevada – Trees – White Oak of Sierra Foothills 20 ft high, Near Rock River Ranch

Yosemite National Park -Mountains – Half Dome -North Face of Half Dome
