A Thousand thanks, from Paris, (France). The video of your JMT course, (August 2020), is generous, realistic and very useful in order to understand, anticipate everyone's own trail ... Best wishes 2022, Th. A
Words can't describe how beautiful Mother Nature is. I totally agree with John Muir and the POTUS Theodore Roosevelt. I fall in love with The Yosemite since I started reading the book by both John Muir and The POTUS Theodore Roosevelt. Wish I will get a chance to visit Yosemite before I leave this life forever. I really wish that.
Thank you for making the effort to take a great video! You did a wonderful job of showcasing the scenery, much more so than any of the other 9 JMT videos we've seen. Keep it up!
I have more videos of the JMT '21 solo & '22 I hoping to upload someday but I'm not to computer savvy and editing is not so easy. Glad you enjoyed Thank you for watching. Happy Trails 🚶♀️🚶♂️🎒🏕️🌄🏞️
Did this trail/hike in July/Aug, 2000. The hardest, yet most gratifying thing I've ever done. Slept outside with no tent every night - had a bear walk over us, as we were sleeping day 2 (near Yosemite, there are a lot of bears because of so many tourists). When you have to walk/hike 15 miles a day, mostly up hill, your feet get destroyed. But once you make it to the top of Mt. Whitney, it's all worth it! Some people claim they "hiked" Mt. Whitney - the opposite side, there is a trail that takes less than a day to do... but it's not the same - in order to fully brag, you have to take the JMT.
The JMT is an amazing adventure I highly recommend it. Hiking with a great group is always a plus. Glad you enjoyed the video. Thank you for watching 😁
Wish i had people to this with. I hike often and will do a very short first backpacking trip this weekend with my daughter. My only fear is going alone.will someone please adopt me? Im in the pasadena area
🤞 Train for distance with elevation gain if possible. I move up to a 25lb pack the last month of training no need for more than that IMO. Good Luck on your permits 💪 JMT '18, '19 '20 🚶♂️🎒
Amazing views and very informative; I loved it! I’ll like to hike the JMT; I saw you mentioned you did this hie in 2020 with different people, right? Do you create different group of people every year to do the JMT? If so, how can I be considered to be part of you group? I’m looking to do ir, JMT, in 2023; thanks!
2019 I did the trail with one other person, 2020 I did it with 6 others and we met people along the trail who tagged along with our group, In 2021 I did a Solo 16 Day Trip. Id recommend going with 1-3 people you know well and get along with for a great experience. Happy Trails ✌️
Hi Thanks for watching!!! Fortunately nobody in our group suffered from altitude sickness. I don't have any remedies for altitude sickness but what I believe works as a preventive measure is staying hydrated and breathing heavily on the ascent. (Not Medical Advice 🙂) Happy Trails 🚶♂️🎒
I averaged how many miles we would do per day. We came to an agreement of between 8-10 MPD with 13 being the maximum. Then we planned our campsites around those numbers. Some days our camp sites were a mile+ under and some days they were a mile+ over(Guthooks was helpful). I believe I put the daily miles of our trip in the Video Description. Thank you for watching 😁
I noticed that the first mileage sign you showed indicated that Mt. Whitney was 211 trail miles away. Then you hiked in the correct direction for a while and found another sign that indicated that Mt. Whitney now was 215 miles away. There seems to have been a problem with the space-time continuum.
That sign is just past Vernal Falls a few feet before the restrooms I'm not sure why it says 215 miles to Whitney maybe a different route... The Official Mileage for the JMT is 210.4 as far as I know 🤔 Thank you for watching much appreciated
Fear of heights shouldn't be a problem me and a few others in our group aren't to fond of heights and we survived. To me the scariest part was Forester Pass ⛰️
Funny you mention Angels Landing, was planning on going up it last year but there were so many people there, I said forget it, I'll come back and try doing it again, so this is the year, I hope!!!!
The food planning to me is the hardest part of the JMT prepping process. The most popular resupply options are shipping your food to Tuolumne Meadows, Red's Meadow, VVR & Muir Trail Ranch (MTR) other options are available like a Pack Mule Service. I will be posting up a few videos soon on my breakfast, lunch and dinners. Please don't forget to Like & Subscribe to my channel. Thank you for watching & Happy Trails
@@Love2Sin thank you so much, I already subscribed, I am Pakistani, we go on long hikes, we mostly take noodles and hunter beef with us. These ready made foods are available here but these are tasteless, they offer whole curries. I appreciate your hard work in such a long trekking, specially such nice editing and information which you give in your videos. Looking forward for more videos.
Zero'd at VVR & Rae Lakes. Averaged about 9-13 mile days Everyone's journey is different. Some plan a 9 day trip others complete the JMT in 30 days. The end result is the same. I will be posting my solo 16 day JMT 2021 trip soon keep your eyes peeled. Happy Trails ✌️🏞️
It took me an 30 days. I didn't arrange my resupplies right and went out at Mammoth Bishop and Independence. I also was not eating right, no fat, almost no protein. I was a vegetarian at the time and it took a lot out of me. I also had old and heavy equipment but I made it with the 30 extra miles and a sobbing spell on the side of the trail.
Applied for the JMT lottery with additional lottery for Half Dome via JMT. JMT lottery rolls over for 21 days before you need to reapply again. Got my permits on day 18 of 21.
great vid was watching with my young daughter and the F bomb flew out of the speaker and I had to shut it off...beautiful cinematography though, maybe if we could bleep that...I could watch all the way through.
@@ejr5480 Not all fun is fun. I've completed the JMT 4x SoBo my fave was a 16 day Solo in 2021 and my last one in 2022, 13 days we had a blast. All 4 were an amazing experience 21 days large group and my 1st in 2019 with a buddy in a high snow year 18 days of pure torture 🤣 . Heavy breathing is a given going over the passes 🫁
I'm just watching this now, but you folks look like the group of hikers that we came across as we were finishing the trail. We may have traded you some of our pre rolled cannabis joints, advil pms, and an android charging cable for your Buffalo Trace whiskey. If not all good. Enjoying having this play in the background as I work. Here is a video of our group that you may have come across. ua-cam.com/video/Op6mJ-KVXCs/v-deo.html
Cannabis and Alcohol free but I do have an Android phone, It must have been another lucky bunch of JMTers you traded with 🤣 Sounds like a good time tho . ✌️

Great video, thanks for documenting your trip.
Great view from Whitney. Looked like a glorious sunrise
excellent job, love the picture through the fog on Whitney, so cool! thanks for sharing this :) my happy place!
Great video. Fun to see so many people together who know how to handle themselves on the trail. Inspiring hike, I'll have to look at doing this.
Highly recommended. It's a pleasant adventure 🚶♂️🎒

Nice video of your trip. Love the sunrise through the fog on Whitney! Hope you got some photos of that.
We literally took thousands of photos from Day 0 - Day 22 the JMT is an Amazing adventure. Thank you for watching 🚶♂️✌️
The interesting part for me is that Yosemite in late July, 2020 was very dry. That rain seems very weird.
Wow just watch the whole thing can't believe it you had a great group of people with you .

is this a trail for people who don't have a fear of heights ie. angels landing zion national park

Were the horse people too annoyed to say "good morning" or did I miss something?
Everybody has their days. On trail some people are social and talkative others not so much. It's all part of the adventure. ✌️
I’m singing the song that guy was singing hahhahha
Love you bro, awesome video. Epic backpacking. How did you manage food for so many days???

Just curious why it took 21 days to backpack the JMT? I’m guessing lots of stops?

how many miles/kilometers per day to reach the 211 miles
I think on this trip we did between 9 & 13 miles max per day with 2 Zero days. Happy Trails ✌️
What day did you start your hike on? Thanks!

How do this guy keep getting permits for half dome when it can take years to get one

Sorry about that. The video is of my JMT journey and sometimes on the trail F Bombs happen 🙊
@@Love2Sin No worries, I'm going to watch it tonight..when they go to bed😂
