- He Who Hunted Birds in His Father’s Village, charting Snyder's deep engagements with Native American mythology
- Passage Through India: about a six-month pilgrimage with his wife and the poet Allen Ginsberg, culminating in a meeting with the Dalai Lama.
- The Practice of the Wild: a classic of American environmental writing in the tradition of Thoreau, Aldo Leopold, and Annie Dillard
- The essays in A Place in Space and Back on the Fire: exploring bioregionalism, forestry practices, sustainability, and the ecosystems of the Sierra Nevada, where Snyder has lived since 1970
