Mount Whitney

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. What this guide includes: - A flexible itinerary for different lengths and difficulty levels - Distances, best camping options, and other useful waypoints - Custom Google Maps with all the important locations, such as my campsites, grocery stores, airports, trails, public transport stops, viewpoints, dangerous points, resupply stops, ranger stations and more. - GPX-tracks of all the routes, including scenic detours and resupplies. - Practical information on how to get there, how to get around, when to go, trail conditions, weather, geography, and more. - Detailed descriptions of the trekking route, including landmarks, terrain, and elevation changes.

Okay, so these parks are huge. And driving through them is a long drive, but if you want to know which spots are the best (in my humble opinion) to stop the car, keep reading! I took two different trips to these parks, and I personally think driving NORTH to SOUTH (seeing Kings Canyon and then Sequoia) is the best way to do it. For some reason, if you drive south (and therefore downhill) through Sequoia, you will see more sequoias!
