Across Yosemite’s Wilderness is the memoir of Laurel Munson Boyers, the first woman to serve as Wilderness Manager in Yosemite National Park and the first to conduct full-time mounted backcountry patrols across nearly 95% of the park’s wilderness. This two-part memoir offers a unique, insider’s perspective on both the natural wonders of Yosemite and the realities of a pioneering career in park management.
