THE JOHN MUIR TRAIL

During the summer of 2020 while the world was going through a global pandemic and social unrest, I took on the famous 211-mile (340 kilometer) John Muir Trail with friends Elan and Gabi. We started in Cottonwood Pass - about 30 miles before the official start at Mount Whitney, and took a total of 14 days to make it to Yosemite Valley. Take the journey with us through the highs and lows of the thru hike (while also having some fun with the outdoor culinary experience) and the special surprise that awaited at the end...
