<span>John Muir thought that the parks should be
preserved for poor people as well as rich. Thus, Americans of all sorts shared
the same need for getting back in touch with nature. Though Recreation on
National Parks is commonly expressed purpose of the parks which usually means
outdoors exercise in the form of hiking, camping, fishing or boating, it fits
on John Muir understanding that recreation should be a re-creating of our inner
selves through immersion in nature. He wrote in his book of “Our National Parks”
on 1901 that the parks should offer winldness which is another word for nature
and that wildness is a necessity. Moreover, he belived that a nation of tired,
nerve-shaken, over-civilized people seek in the parks an escape from the vice
of over-industry and the deadly apathy of luxury. </span>
