Mountain Passes on the JMT

I think this one of my favorite quotes of John Muir!

Mountain Passes on the JMT

  • Cathedral Pass - 9703 ft.
  • Donohue Pass - 11,073 ft.
  • Island Pass - 10,205 ft.
  • Silver Pass - 10,754 ft.
  • Seldon Pass - 10, 898 ft.
  • Muir Pass - 11,991 ft.
  • Mather Pass - 12,100 ft.
  • Pinchot Pass - 12,086 ft.
  • Glen Pass - 11,924 ft.
  • Forester Pass - 13,118 ft.
  • Mt. Whitney - 14,505 ft. - though not really a pass, it's the highest point in the contiguous U.S.

( I brought my whistle with me in case of emergency but i ended up blowing the whistle everytime I was on top of a pass. I blew 12 times! Why 12? I think climbing Mt. Whitney deserved a celebration and when I finally finished my entire 211 miles around 8pm on the 14th day.
