John Muir Trail Aug 13 – Sept 1 – the plan

Eddie, Tracy, and I are heading to Oakhurst, CA on August 12th.  The plan is for us to head into Yosemite on the 13th, get the lay of the land, and pick up our JMT permit.  The 3 of us will then leave Tuolumne meadows www.nps.gov/yose/planyourvisit/tmcamp.htm‎ into Lyell Canyon.  Tracy will hike with us for a while and then turn back to the car and head back to Oakland.

Eddie and I will continue South and eventually exit Whitney Portal (near the town of Lone Pine) around August 31st.  I’ve posted our planned places to camp and mountains we will be climbing.  However, given it’s 200 miles of remote wilderness, our planned camping locations may change.  Eddie will have his SPOT with him and you can follow our progress here:
