Eastern Sierra: August 2006 Archives

I have returned from a week on the John Muir Trail with Paige and her daughter Taylor. It was a wonderful hike with perfect weather, just the right amount of daily mileage to keep busy but still have time to enjoy my surroundings, and I got to see some of the most stunning scenery in the United States (really, the world!) Each day is listed below in the extended entry with a description of the areas travelled, daily mileage/elevation stats, and a link to that day's photos. Total mileage for the trip was 83.17 miles, an elevation gain of 14878 ft, and an elevation loss of 16657 ft.
