PÈMÈT, KOVÈTI POU LIS, ECHANTIYON ITINERYEN, AK REPONS POU RANDONE JMT NAN SID

Considered the most iconic thru-hike and backpacking trail in the US, the John Muir Trail (also called the Nüümü Poyo Trail) is a 211-mile hiking trail in the Sierra Nevada mountains. The California trail climbs Mt. Whitney, travels through Yosemite and Sequoia National Park, and passes by Half Dome.

I’ve thru-hiked the JMT four times, spent three summers living in the Sierra hiking along the JMT as part of my work, and authored the book Long Trails: Mastering the Art of the Thru-hike.

This John Muir Trail gear list features what I’ve learned from four thru-hikes of the JMT, along with numerous other long trails and routes. The strategy includes how to get JMT permits, the permit process, resupply, a 21-day sample itinerary, and details on John Muir Trail section hikes.

Objektif mwen se mache ou nan yon gid etap-pa-etap sou sa ki Kovèti pou pote kòm move tan ak ekosistèm chanjman soti nan yon 4,040-pye elevasyon nan Happy Isles nan Yosemite nan yon 14,505-pye elevasyon nan pwen ki pi wo a JMT sou Mt. Whitney (ak pi wo a pi wo nan pi ba 48).

Whether you’re planning a dream long-distance hike or section hiking parts, this in-depth guide will give you guidance for your John Muir Trail gear checklist and strategies for hiking and developing self-care routines to thrive on your journey.
