John Muir Trail 2013

Elizabeth and I just spent  3 amazing weeks in the wilderness hiking the John Muir Trail. We started in Yosemite Valley & ended at the top of Mt. Whitney (14,495 feet). 218.5 miles over 11 passes with an elevation gain of over 46,000 feet. Elizabeth hiked  with Keen swimming sandals because a yellow jacket attack left her with a foot too swollen to fit in her hiking boots! We both feel humbled, amazed, vulnerable & connected to all things. Thank you, thank you, thank you universe!

 

 

Half Way!

We landed at beautiful Muir Ranch at the half way point, 109 miles woo-hoo!, feeling amazing after a day of soaking in the hot springs. More wilderness ahead. Limited internet access here. Sending love and greeting from the trail~don and elizabeth
