In 1965, the Walt Disney Company proposed building a massive ski resort in the Sierra Nevada mountains, which was approved by the federal government in 1969, and would have irreversibly altered the practically untouched Mineral King Valley, a magnificently beautiful Alpine area. At first it seemed inevitable that this expanse of wild natural land would be radically changed and turned over to a private corporation. But then the scrappy Sierra Club pushed back with a lawsuit that ultimately propelled the modern environmental law era.
