    Hiking

    Stephen Mather was the first director of the National Park Service. He used his wealth and political connections to give major impetus to the idea of the national park.

    After Mather's death, the Park Service erected bronze plaques in every park that read, "There will never be an end to the good he has done." "There will never come an end to the good that he has done."
