John Muir Trail – Page 3 – the wandering spot

JMT second try – we have permit for the hike from Mono/Parker Pass trailhead to Whitney Portal starting late July 2021. Still working on alternative entry trailhead: we prefer to start from Lyell Canyon trailhead and perhaps changing from linear hike to a loop. The trail trace is 310 km, but including side resupply trips we will hike around 350 km. We plan on driving from Chicago. We have a month to enjoy the hike.

Started in South Lake Tahoe and visiting Fallen Leaf Lake area. Then hiked 3 days with friends in Desolation Wilderness. We continue to Yosemite and Lassen Volcanic to hike and camped, and visited places in between. Good hikes to Round Top Lake, Clouds Rest/Sunrise Lakes, Cinder Cone and Lassen Peak.
