"THE GREATER SEQUOIA"

NE cannot think or speak of the Sequoia National Park without including the extraordinary scenic country lying beyond its boundaries to the north and east. Not that there is much in common between the two, for the park marks the supremacy of forest luxuriance and the outlying country the supremacy of rock-sculptured canyon and snowy summit.

And yet there is the common note of supremacy, each of its own kind.

And there is the common note of continuity, for, from the lowest valley of the wooded park to the peak of our loftiest height, Mount Whitney, nature's painting runs the gamut. The parts are indivisible; to separate them is to cut in two the canvas of the Master.

And so it is that those who know this land of exuberant climax have come to call it "The Greater Sequoia" in order to express not the part limited by the park's official title but the whole as God made it.

There is a bill now before Congress to enlarge the park boundaries so that they shall inclose it all.
