He was president of the Club until his death. 1901: He wrote Our National Parks, which caused Teddy Roosevelt to visit Yosemite in This led to the creation of a National Park System. After traveling the country as a young man, Muir decided that the Sierra Nevada Mountains were the prettiest region of the country. He then travelled the world after getting married.
