Step into Yosemite’s backcountry with trailblazing ranger Laurel Boyers as she shares a life dedicated to protecting wild wonders

Across Yosemite’s Wilderness is a memoir about the life and career of Laurel Boyers—the first woman to serve as the Wilderness Manager in the park’s history. Laurel also became the first woman to do full-time mounted backcountry patrol throughout the almost 95% of the park that is the Yosemite wilderness. This two-part memoir begins with a travelogue of her last mounted patrol of the park as a ranger. This section, a chapter for each day of the patrol, takes readers on a journey across the wild, roadless backcountry of the park. The narrative of the patrol is interspersed with park history, stories from her career, descriptions of the geography and vegetation, and Laurel’s reflections on her over 30 years of service. This section immerses readers in the details of a backcountry patrol, introduces them to the park, and sets the stage for the chronological story of Laurel’s life.

Part two tells her chronological story, beginning with deep roots. Her great grandfather ran a way station for early visitors to the park, welcoming Teddy Roosevelt and John Muir in 1903. She was born in Yosemite Valley in a little house near what is now Yosemite Village. She went on to join the Park Service in 1976. Her narrative is full of details on what life as a wilderness ranger is really like—stories of mules and helicopters, search and rescue operations, multi-day hikes, mounted patrols, and the challenges of managing the wilderness. It also describes unique connections she made throughout her life, from having known Ansel Adams personally (and having a polaroid he took of her) to leading former first lady Laura Bush on a weeklong backpacking trip through the park.

Through her career and experience, Laurel reflects on the global significance of Yosemite and the importance of effectively managing and protecting its iconic wilderness and other wild places across the world. This will be a window into Yosemite’s history, the inner workings of the park, the life and career of a trailblazing wilderness ranger, and the most remote corners of the park. Laurel Boyers’ perspective is an incredibly unique one, and few people have been lucky enough to live a life quite like hers.

The memoir contains original black-and-white drawings created by Lex Munson. ,
