A lyrical welcome to Great Basin National Park

Shelton Johnson who is known to many for his interviews in Ken Burn's "The National Parks: America's Best Idea" docuseries, shares his love of Great Basin in this poetic and lyrical video. Shelton was an interpretive ranger in Great Basin early in his career.
"Spiritual freedom and the rejuvenation of spirit often result from time spent in extraordinary landscapes! The last few years have been traumatic for many people but particularly for African Americans as the result of the increased racial hostility fomented by those who seek to divide rather than unite, but a National Park Experience is a restoration of that sacred, ancestral connection to the world beneath, above, and around us!
Restoring that connection for African Americans can happen anywhere, but it's easier in a national park because you're already halfway to Heaven so when you call out to the Creator it's a local call rather than long-distance, therefore, you're much more likely to be heard and get a response that might change your life forever." - Shelton Johnson
