John Muir Trail (JMT) is truly beautiful; a magical trail! The official mileage (211 miles/47,000 ft of elevation) of JMT is long but somehow I did not feel that way. I guess miles and miles of breathtaking scenic vistas and the landscape was constantly changing that you never got tired of the views. Nothing beats the experience of being there: tranquilty, solitude, pristine, fresh air of early morning sun, beautiful waterfalls, rivers, lakes etc...magical mother nature did wondered. I can only take photos and share with you but if you should make the time to be there, I can only guarantee you that mother nature will enrich your heart and soul as it did mine!
After a trip, I usually posted a few pictures to share with family and friends. Since I spent 2 weeks on the trail, it is hard to do justice to share a few photos! I decided to spend sometime to write up my journey so i can look back and hopefully i can inspire others to hit the trail and spend more time outdoors.
Photo albums: Day 1-5, Day 6-10, Day 11-14 and my JMT journal of each day on the trail!
Short version (below): randomly picked 14 photos of my 14 days on the John Muir trail.
Hope you enjoy,
