LOOK: The John Muir Trail: Along the High, Wild Sierra (Nat Geographic April '89)
I picked up a load of National Geographics at a second hand store not far from Ida's parents house a couple of weekends back and one of the articles that really jumped out at me was this one on The John Muir Trail from the April issue of 1989. I've included a few examples here, but to see the whole article head over to my Flickr page.

ONE TO WALK: John Muir Trail
"In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks." John Muir
Yes - Sweetness
The John Muir Trail (JMT) is a long-distance trail in the Sierra Nevada mountain range of California, running 211 miles (340 km) between the northern terminus at Happy Isles in Yosemite Valley and the southern terminus located on the summit of Mount Whitney. The only other points where the trail passes near a road is in Tuolumne Meadows in Yosemite National Park and at Red's Meadow near Devil's Postpile National Monument. For about 160 miles (260 km), the trail, named for naturalist John Muir, follows the same footpath as the longer Pacific Crest Trail. It also passes through Kings Canyon National Park and Sequoia National Park.
