Description
The John Muir Trail is one of the most famous trails in the world, and justifiably so. This pack-supported trek travels through a section of the John Muir Trail that is considered one of the most beautiful of all. This truly is “postcard country!” We’ll hike past Thousand Island Lake and below the impressive, glaciated peaks of Mount Ritter, Mount Banner, and Mount Lyell. Then we’ll enter into Yosemite National Park via a backcountry route over 11,000’ Donahue Pass. You’ll just carry your water and camera each day while the mules carry all the gear!
This trip is operated in partnership with Southern Yosemite Mountain Guides: a permitted outfitter on the Sierra and Inyo National Forests, and Yosemite National Park.
