I’ve been section hiking it for the past three years. Can I get there once again?
And I’ve got friends planning to honeymoon hike this coming summer.
If you are considering it yourself, check out this great new resource. It’s a virtual JMT hike via photo pages.

Click through to the start page. And follow the links. Within 5min you’ll have a good overview of our #2 hike in the World.
If that’s too low tech for you, there is a .kmz file you can load into Google Earth for a fly over.
The site is called Hiking the John Muir Trail, a great starting point. It’s very professionally put together.
