True to our name

Muir Contracting has an unwavering commitment to the outdoors.

In 1903, President Theodore Roosevelt visited Yosemite and was guided by naturalist John Muir.

The two men spent three memorable nights camping, first under the outstretched arms of the Grizzly Giant in the Mariposa Grove of Giant Sequoias, then in a snowstorm atop five feet of snow near Sentinel Dome, and finally in a meadow near the base of Bridalveil Fall.

Their conversations and shared joy with the beauty and magnificence of Yosemite led Roosevelt to expand federal protection of Yosemite, and it inspired him to sign into existence five national parks, 18 national monuments, 55 national bird sanctuaries and wildlife refuges, and 150 national forests.

Muir Contracting is dedicated to preserving that legacy through the support of The Theodore Roosevelt Conservation Partnership.
