William and Maymie Kimes Annotation

"Pyramid Lake is the most singular and beautiful sheet of water I ever saw, and I believe it surpasses anything on the face of the earth for picturesque grandeur .... "" Of Muir's first view he writes: ""It burst upon our vision unexpectedly, and brought us to an involuntary halt. We gazed in reverent silence and wondered at the beautiful sight.""
