Approximately 1,500 tenacious adventurers endeavor to backpack over 200 miles of High Sierra wilderness along the world-famous John Muir Trail (JMT) each year. Southbound hikers yearn for the natural splendor of Yosemite, Kings Canyon, and Sequoia National Parks before summiting the highest point in the contiguous United States.

But the journey's risks are impossible to ignore. Amateur hikers are often overwhelmed by the remote backcountry and its obstacles: extreme overcrowding, sparse cell reception, difficult resupply, altitude sickness, rugged terrain, and deep snow.

“Scribe” shares his personal journal to assist and support future generations of thru-hikers, mindful of both the joys and hardships expected along the JMT.

WITH THIS JOURNAL AND GUIDE, YOU CAN:

• Review historical context.
• Explore the JMT vicariously with Scribe.
• Learn about permits and regulations, gear choices, dietary considerations, potential adverse health conditions, common injuries and illnesses, and dangerous wildlife.
• Determine where, when, and how to travel.
• And more!
