- Come join me as I thru-hike the John Muir Trail Northbound. This isn't just a slideshow of epic scenery. This is a day by day video diary of my experience. It is raw and filled with all of the ups and downs that come with wilderness backpacking. It's not perfect. I'm not a professional videographer. I'm just a model/artist who adores the outdoors. This was shot almost entirely on an iPhone 13 Pro with additional footage from GoPro and my Nikon D3500. May it excite and inspire you. Thank you for watching.

Great video! Really captured the day to day reality of backpacking. All the ups and downs.
Now all I can think of is going back… Thanks for sharing your experience.
Thank you for watching! I appreciate the feedback! I’m happy the story is coming across how I wanted to convey it!
OMG! So wonderful experiencing this incredible adventure through your eyes via the camera. So enjoyed watching and you made me feel like I was right there with you both each day of your journey! 😊❤😊
Thank you so much for taking the time to watch it!! ❤️❤️❤️ It means so much that you enjoyed it :)
I’ve been so excited to watch this, Tina! You’ve made me rewrite my bucket list! ❤
Thank you for taking the time to watch it! I’m so glad it inspired you! ❤
Thank for the effort to make the video. Really enjoyed watching the video! Excellent job
You’re very welcome. Thank you for taking the time to watch it! I appreciate the positive feedback :)
Nice job on the video. That was a touching moment you had with your dad. I'm 70 years old and I still miss mine. Being in places like this always brings back strong memories of the things I use to do with him. Death leaves a heartache that no one can heal, and love leaves a memory no one can steal.
Thank you very much. Every year I try and go out in the wilderness on his birthday to “spend time with him.” It’s become a tradition that I don’t ever see changing. Thank you for sharing your beautiful words.
More than "pack it in, pack it out" pack out more than you pack in. Face it, animals get into packs, wind blows and things just get forgotten or dropped. Besides, it helps keep the wilderness clean.
I always pick up things I find. Regardless of circumstance as to why it was there. There’s no harm in reminding everyone to be a little more aware. That’s all. I did however witness someone intentionally drop things multiple times. It does happen.
Agreed, I think litter you find off the beaten path is accidental. Love the attitude, if we all pick up a little extra the beautiful landscapes and we all better for it.
I have really enjoyed watching you two hike the JMT. The humor and joking that you too do is awesome.
Have you two hiked the AT yet. I didn’t see that you have in your videos. Have you two thought about hiking it. I would love to see those videos. Enjoyed it. Thank you. SloMoe.
Epic Journey!
Who’s the music by in your Yosemite video ?
what year was this
What year was this hike?
Probably July/August 2022
Tina, great job on this. I have watched a half dozen of these jmt videos and yours is by the best.
That means a lot. Thank you so much!!
Wow, just watched this video and it is one of the best I've seen. Thanks so much for all the good, bad and especially the funny. Congratulations!
Enjoyed traveling with you both! Love the humorous antics, made the trip even better! I'm unable to go above about 5000 feet so I live these trails vicariously through people like you :-) Thanks
I’m happy enjoyed the journey! I’m sorry you can’t go above 5,000 feet. It warms my heart to know you’re able to experience it through videos like mine though. That’s one of the reasons I made this :)
We've seen a bunch of trail videos and toys is by far the best one yet! We're all excited to see where your next adventure takes you! DON'T EVER STOP SHARING your experiences 😊
Thanks for sharing this with the world! It was lovely to see all of that wild gorgeous country!
You’re very welcome. Thank you for taking the time to watch it! I’m glad you enjoyed it!
That was just outstanding! Great job, and you guys made me laugh out loud! Thank you for the very thorough coverage of not just the trail, but also it's creatures and flora. Beautiful stills, you are a wonderful photographer! (do you by any chance sell your prints? I would love to have the one taken from the south side of Garnet Lake at sunset. Garnet is my favorite lake on the trail). By the way.... was your trek done in 2022? If so, I think we may have been maybe 2 days ahead of you, at the northern section past Garnet.....(?) I really enjoyed this, thank you!
This is awesome! What were the dates for you hike?
Thank you for watching! We started July 19th last year and ended on August 9th. It rained almost everyday but it wasn’t terribly hot.
Would love a video where you break down what you carry? Must haves and links etc ? 🙏🏼
I’ll be headed out this weekend for a 6 day long venture. I’ll keep that in mind! Thank you for the suggestion!
I was so happy to meet up with you and share the trail! Beautiful memories and a beautiful video 😍
I was so happy to meet you as well and share the journey for a few Days! It was such a delight. Thank you for taking the time to watch my video and revisit such an incredible time. ❤️
I just watched the whole thing again….. good god I miss that time.
What an amazing trip in every way
So lucky to have shared such a special experience with all y’all!
Great video. Wasn't expecting the full moon. 😂 This gets me hyped for a bucket list hike. Hoping for 2 yrs from now when I turn 50!
@@cliftonselent4625 thank you. And yea lol it’s such a freeing experience 😄 you definitely should make it happen! I did this for my 40th ☺️
Loved this. You were 10 days ahead of me in 2022. I enjoyed meeting Tina in 2023 in Yosemite Backpacker camp. Happy trails to you both.
Thank you! It was so great meeting you last year as well!
That's one of the best and most entertaining hiking videos I've ever seen... and I've watched a lot of them
Thank you so much for your kind compliments!!
We have done the JMT twice but the 1st time is the special one. We have the same journal book.
I was going to ask where the pack mules were taking stuff, but there's a CABIN UP THERE? :O
Yes! Ranger resupply :)
This was a fun video to watch. Great that you don't take yourselves too seriously and just enjoy the moment! I have a question... I have a bad knee (arthritis and meniscus issues), what is the knee brace he is wearing? It looks legit! I need to do something to get back out on the trail...
Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed it! Nature brings out our inner child for sure. Life is too short to be serious all the time. This is the exact brace he used. He said it’s knee specific, so if you try it, just be sure to select the correct one. He has tried MANY braces over the years and swears by this one. I hope it helps get you back out there!

Thank you so much for your quick response! I looked at it and it is on the expensive side for braces, but if it works.... Would you mind saying what he needs a brace for? As I said before, mine is meniscus/arthritis. If you want to keep that private, no worries. It is just that you 2 are way too young to have knee issues like us old farts! Thanks again @@TinaGrimm82
Sorry for the late reply. He has meniscus issues as well. He had tried tons of braces and said it was def worth the investment for this one.
@@TinaGrimm82 Now its my turn to apologize for a late response. Question, how long did it take for him to notice a difference? Was it immediate or did it take time? I tried for 2 weeks and no real improvement so I returned it to Amazon so I could get a refund, however I found another one from the same brand that seems to be a bit better for my issue. Still not good so I wonder if I just didn't give it enough time. Sorry to keep bothering you about his brace, I just miss hiking so much! I've had to bail on 4 hikes into the Grand Canyon after just a couple of miles. Thanks!
The JMT is so reminiscent of the Enchantment Lakes in Washington State. Great video, JMT is on my bucket list....
Thank you! I still have yet to explore Washington State. I hope to get there soon. I’m sure you’ll make the JMT happen one day 😊
Forester Pass is a "cast iron S.O.B." I thought the switchbacks going up to Trail Crest from Guitar Lake were easier.
Gives me goosebumps every time just knowing how magical our wildlands are! Nicely done! ❤
Here's to yet another epic story and THANK YOU for inviting us along the journey!
This is one of the VERY BEST JMT/Sierra videos I’ve seen since I started watching them 2 years ago. The photography/ videography is EXCELLENT. Rarely
matched and not often beaten. What I especially enjoyed was the interaction between Bear Moon and Stink Bug.
I hope to see many further m/future adventures that you alluded to!
Bravo! I’m forwarding this video to all my friends and family. 🎉
Thank you so very much for your kind words. I’m so happy you enjoyed it. It took me almost a year to edit it all together and it warms my heart to know that the effort shows. ❤🙏🏻 I can’t wait to share the next adventure 😊
Really wekk done . I so enjoyed it.
Thank you very much! I truly appreciate your time and kind words.
You guys were so much fun to watch!! I too hiked the JMT in 2022 but SOBO. I summited Mt Whitney on July 21 and plan on doing it again in 2024. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the watch! I’m so glad you enjoyed it! I’d say maybe we passed each other, but you were most likely ahead of us! I miss it so much. Won’t make it back in 2024 but hoping for 2025! Happy trails!
Really enjoyed this. Thank you.
Maybe clarify when?
You found a rapper on the trail…..not a dump site. Rather the assuming some uncaring soul just aimlessly tossed their garbage…. maybe dabble in the possibility it just slipped out of a pocket or a pack?
😊
I found more than just a wrapper, including many used feminine products. But who wants to see or hear about a bloody tampon…I also witnessed an individual toss bar wrappers repeatedly. Perhaps it was unfair to assume that the coffee bean pack was intentionally left behind but I felt inclined to say something as a general statement. No harm in reminding people to be a little more careful with what they bring with them. 😊
Thats exactly why I KEEP MY WOMEN IN KNEE PADS
Oh look another john muir trail movie just like 10000s of others already on here .... couldnt possibly just go hike it without making a boring vid about it, remenber it didnt happen if you didnt brag about it and try to make a buck off it
