However, even with this ever-present danger there lies unparalleled beauty. I, along with millions of others, get to enjoy the allure of this majestic beast almost every day. The mountain can change an otherwise dull day into an enjoyable experience, with only an ever so short appearance, Mount Rainier is located about 40 miles east of Olympia, WA.

Its emotional appeal seems to lie in its ability to deliver on a promise of “success, warmth, sunshine and beauty, health and long life, freedom …” (pg 23). From early times, California was seen as a Mecca of sorts for people from the snow-bound East and Midwest. One Midwestern newcomer wrote in the 30’s “I’d get letters from friends that had settled here … I’d hear about the orange groves and palms … sunny days and cool nights and how the only snow you saw was miles off in the mountains – well I was sick of the prairie landscape and stoking the fire all winter and frying all summer and the first chance I got, I boarded a train to find out if this country came up to brag.” (pg 23). This man was one of millions of people who almost literally saw California as a separate country, one that could put an end to whatever it was that troubled them.

However, from 1945 the Alps have become one of the biggest tourist destinations in the world with over 100 million tourists visiting a year. The pristine landscapes were changes to ski slopes, hotels, shops, restaurants and railways. There are over 600 ski resorts in the Alps and tourists can come all year around, as there are activities such as climbing and bird watching. This shows how valuable the Alps are to the owners of resorts and people in the tourist industry, most of their earnings are made from ski holidays in the winter as well as the summer. The industry that has developed to support the tourist developments is made of a cheap building material deposited at the snouts of glaciers, which will not be available in the long term as it is being used up at a very fast rate.

Not only does this mean they make use of a site already available but it also has the positive environmental impact that they are not building on farmland etc. The 240 acre Bluewater centre in Kent was built on a former quarry.
The grotesque rocks and spectacular waterfalls presenting in the Yellow Stone Park attracted millions of tourists every year throughout the world. These amazing beauties that created by the nature can even afford us a glimpse of a different but higher realm of existence. Such beauties, which suggesting a world beyond, can never be created by artificial ways. Since our human beings deem it necessary to protecting works of arts, which are regarded to satisfy our sensual needs for vision, our government should also takes measures to preserve these wilderness areas, which can equally convey the meaning to our human beings. As it seems to me, to ruin a part of wilderness area is tantamount to defacing the Mona
