John Muir Trail 2007

I hiked the John Muir Trail solo southbound from June 4 to June 24, 2007.

My trip was interesting in that I went a month earlier than most people do. Also I went alone. Along the way I dealt with bears, an earthquake, snow and mosquitos. During the 3 week trip I cumulatively climbed 47,000 ft. nearly 1.5 times as high as Mt. Everest.

Here's a trail journal where you can see how the trip went.

Here's a Flickr page where I posted all of my photos.

Here is a video of the bear that I saw in Yosemite Park

Here is a video of the evil marmot at Guitar Lake

Here is my entire gear list online via Google Spreadsheets.

Also, here is my rough itinerary online via Google Calendar.
