We Had a Permit, We Had a Plan (and Umbrellas)

The planning, the prep, the permit. In this episode we walk through how our plan came together.    John Muir Trail Interactive Map Happy Isles — Mile Zero of the JMT, located at approximately 4,000 feet in Yosemite Valley Forester Pass — the highest pass on the Pacific Crest Trail (also on the JMT) The Golden Staircase — the notoriously steep ascent on the way to Mather Pass Muir Hut — the stone shelter at the top of Muir Pass Evolution Valley — widely considered one of the most beautiful sections of the JMT Mile Mile & a Half — the documentary Nikki mentions about the JMT, made by a group of friends who carried professional camera and audio equipment the entire route The Wisdom Tree — a lone tree on Cahuenga Peak/Mount Lee  (adjacent to the Hollywood Sign) where hikers leave and respond to each other's handwritten notes; the subject of Nikki's master's thesis   Get in touch!
