Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The John Muir Trail (JMT) is one of the world's most spectacular treks and is North America's best known mid-distance walking trail. It runs for 216 miles through the high Sierra Nevada mountains of California, from Yosemite Valley (El Capitan and Half-Dome) to the summit of Mount Whitney (14,496ft), the highest peak in the US outside Alaska. The route is described in 21 day stages. All you need to know to plan and prepare for your trip is contained within this guide, from obtaining trekking permits to buying trek food and forwarding food caches along the trail. Abundant advice is given on such topics as dealing with inquisitive bears, coping with altitude, negotiating river crossings, as well as tips on booking transport to and from the trailheads and on what equipment to take. In addition, there is a detailed description of the flora and fauna of this remarkable region. The walking trail, which is named after the great 19th-century Scottish naturalist, conservationist and writer John Muir, is entirely through the unspoilt wilderness of the American West and passes through three national parks: Yosemite, Kings Canyon and Sequoia National Parks.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ON JOHN MUIR TRAIL: Four men, two from California, and two from Australia plan a mountain adventure. This adventure is shown with dozens of pictures and their captions. An overview of the general area shows how it changes along the route going in. Lakes and mountains prevail. Of these, Sally Keyes lakes and many of the mountains are special. A pack station contains supplies for the trip in. These are divided evenly by weight for pack mules to carry equal loads. Characteristics of the land crossed change with interest along the route. Campsite is reached at Sally Keyes lakes, and preparations are made for the stay, which include meals eaten, sleeping area, and of course, fishing. The history and utility of the "Firewood Tree" provide interest. The Trail offers snow, a storm and a minor injury. These are followed by a "rest day" at camp. "Special Moments" and "Miscellaneous" yield small items for mostly visual collection. They will stimulate future years-long memories. Others, such as the "Fairy Ring" remain, to charm those who instead see it now.
