This year's John Muir Trail segment brings my JMT mileage to 107 miles, about half of the trail. Our threesome started at Rock Creek on August 13, connecting with the JMT via 12000' Mono Pass and finishing at Red's Meadow. Day 1 included climbing 12800' Starr Mtn, adjacent to Mono Pass.
In six days we got no rain, no forest fire smoke, no mosquitoes, no bruin interlopers, and lots of scenic high mountain lakes.
