The 350-kilometer (215-mile) long John Muir Trail is considered one of the most beautiful hiking trails in the United States. It stretches from Yosemite Valley to Mount Whitney straight through the Sierra Nevada mountains, passing through Yosemite National Park, the John Muir and Ansel Adams Wildernesses, Sequoia National Park, and King's Canyon National Park. This trek is characterized by wild camping, undisturbed wilderness and a varied wild landscape. This is my personal favorite hike in the world.
This guide includes the route and campsites as seen in my YouTube films and is suitable for experienced backpackers - it requires wildcamping and bringing food for up to a week. The flexible itinerary is split up in 3 stages, that can be hiked at any pace. Additionally there is all you need to know about obtaining permits, resupplies, getting there by car or public transport, bear safety, weather and when to go and much more.
