Hiking the John Muir Trail

I joined a good friend to spend 9 days hiking the High Sierra segment of the John Muir Trail (JMT).  We covered 135 miles of the JMT, which runs 211 miles from Yosemite Valley to Mt. Whitney.  I've attached a slide show highlighting the trip, which you can Download JohnMuirTrail.ppt .  I’d encourage everybody to consider this trek through some of the most spectacular and still unspoiled parts of our country.  It was one of the toughest and rewarding challenges I’ve undertaken.  I plan to repeat the trip when my children are old enough to join me.
