The Theodore Solomons Trail was designed as an alternative to the more heavily traveled John Muir Trail. Sadly, the trail seems to have largely fallen off the map (so to speak). The last guidebook to the TST was published in 1992, and some of the trails appear to be no longer maintained and difficult to follow.
I’m collecting research on the trail to potentially come up with a viable route …
If you’ve got feedback on the route or suggestions for improving it, leave a comment. If I can come up with a good plan, I may organize a thru-hike in 2016.
Looks like a terrific long circuit, to me. 🙂

Nice! I was thinking about making an alternate to the JMT a little further to the west after seeing the trail get more crowded every year. And here it is already laid out.
