- Join us on our adventure exploring the beautiful John Muir Trail (JMT). The JMT is an end to end trail in the Sierra Nevada Mountain Range starting at Happy Isles in Yosemite National Park and ending on the top of Mount Whitney, the highest peak in the continental US at 14,505' elevation in Sequoia National Park. Being over 200mi long it crosses paths with the Pacific Crest Trail and shows off some of the most beautiful landscapes in the country.

One of the best videos I’ve watched on the JMT, and I’ve watched a lot of them. And thank you for the recommendation on the book.
Thank you so much for watching! We’re happy you enjoyed it!
Excellent Video, Katie! It really brought back memories from Sept 2022 of our accent of Mt Whitney as well. As you showed in this, the views, the smells, the backcountry is something to see for yourself but the most important part of this video is your last comment... Just somebody, trying to tell everybody! Glory to God!
I wholeheartedly agree. Thank you for watcing Ben!
Great Video. I've hiked Whitney 3 times, the decent is brutal. Would love to do the JMT. I love to be in God's creation, I believe it allows me to be closer to him and to know him even more. "For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities-his eternal power and divine nature-have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse." Keep on hiking and keep proclaiming the good news.
Beautiful job capturing your journey. Thank you for the message at the end. It so easy to lose sight of the beauty of the world and a Creator who loves us.
Thank you for taking me along. It was nice watching and hearing someone not complaining about to many people at a campground or something else.
In case you're not aware. Thermacell mosquito repellant. If you hike, camp or just outdoor stuff, it is a must. No spray or smelly mess. Check it out. Aside from that, great video.
Awesome video and very well done! I have done a portion of the JMT 14 years ago and this brought back so many fond memories of that hike. When you made the comment about camping at Purple Lake, I was saying to myself out loud, don't camp there! Keeping going to Lake Virginia! Its much prettier there! I know you didn't include it in the video, but the switchbacks after Lake Virginia and Silver Pass were very time consuming! I don't want to keep dragging this out, but I really appreciated the brief witness at the end of the video! God Bless!
Thank you for your kind words and for taking the time to watch our video! We had initially thought of camping at Lake Virginia but unfortunately didn’t make it before deciding to stop for the day. Maybe next time, haha
"The best views come after the hardest climb"", Kudos to you guys. Thanks for sharing the wonderful video.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Gotta love newbie backpackers sharing their adventures!
Thank you both for this. Beautiful work. He is with us on the peaks and in the valleys! Thanks for the link to the book.
Enjoyed your video very much. Reminded me of one of my first backpacks in the Grand Canyon. We had snow the last night and I swear it was the thought of a burger that got me up to the rim.
Thanks so much for watching! Nothing beats a juicy burger after eating dehydrated foods for an entire trip!
Katie did a wonderful job with this video! Terrific editing and the footage/photos are stunning. Especially love the photo of the two of you on top of Forester Pass. So thankful I got to be the "Replacement Kevin" on Trail! Can't wait to see you on the Appalachian Trail!
Thanks Kevin!! Looking forward to seeing you as well on the AT

나도 pct를 꿈꾼다.
BRAVO! 👏 Great Video ..Well Done! 💫
Subscribed - pushing you to 1K~~~ !!! CONGRATS!
Great video!! Enjoyed it from start to finish. Beautiful scenery. I also liked the photo of you guys at Forrester pass. Didn’t realize what a tough hike that would be. Loved the MilkyWay pic. It amazing how a couple weeks in the wilderness will clear the mind and cleanse the soul!
Congratulations on your JMT! Very nice video! Brings back memories of our 14 day NOBO JMT from Horseshoe meadows in late Summer 2019, what a marvelous adventure of a lifetime!
Happy 🥾!
lol... early season in the sierra Nevada can test you. snowstorms, frozen everything, raging river crossings, icy passes and mosquito hell. I gave it up years ago. 😅😂 I still car camp down in the eastern sierra off season but I do not go into the backcountry until mid July. even then the mosquitoes are brutal. got to wait til late August/September for the best weather and least amount of bugs.
Thank you for sharing your trip, looks like you all had a great time.
I was at Yosemite on July 4th. Great place to hike.
Great to have a few days on the trail and on top of Whitney for the sunrise with you guys, Patrick and Katie! What a blast in such incredible scenery. I hope your AT adventure is going well - stay healthy and I hope to see you again someday. Cheers, Jim
It was an amazing adventure and we’re glad we got to meet you! Excited to hear about your JMT journey this year with all the snow!!
Thank you for sharing with us your hike, I want to hike it one day.
The different prospective's and shots is what makes these videos phenomenal !
So love your video! Thanks for documenting your experiences...eager to follow you to watch your future adventures! Peace!
Good job! Thank you for making the effort and showcasing the awesome scenery so well!
Thanks for watching!
It all was exquisitely beautiful. Thank you for sharing it with us.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks for the beautiful video
Great videos 🤩 it’s such a joy to follow you both on this incredible hike🥰 you’re doing an awesome job with letting us be part of this journey 🥰
Thanks!! 😍
Loved this video! We also hiked the JMT SOBO in late June 2022. It looks like you started about 4 days before us though. I loved how much you mentioned the mosquitos because they were truly BRUTAL😂
Thank you for watching!
Haha I don’t think anything could’ve prepared us for how bad they were.
Beautiful views
Dear HappyCampHares, Thank you for a so enjoyable Yosemite hike.Thank you for your nice video. ‘Natural sounds and nice view, I look forward to your next video❤❤
We enjoy being able to share such an awesome experience with others! Thank you for your kind words :)
This is really great piece Katie and Patrick! I enjoyed it so much, especially love your subtle sense of humor! 😅
Thanks for watching :)
Way to go! What a great hike and conclusion. Love it.
Dude and duetted so pretty 😍
Right?!
Amazing.. thank you for all the effort that I know you put in to bringing the rest of us this video
Thank you for taking the time to watch! It was our pleasure :)
beautiful video, congratulations.
Really nice video- beautiful scenery. Thanks for sharing your adventure. Any plans to do the PCT?
Thanks for watching! We are heading out for our AT thru hike on February 17, 2023. We are planning on completing other sections of the PCT in the future - have not made a decision about doing the entire PCT yet.
Looks like a great time of year for hiking-such beautiful views 🤩
Great job, I love it. I'm planning to do this as well soon!
Man I wish I had friends lol. So fun! I'll be going alone this year 🤙
Wow what a great video, loved it. We live 2 hours north of Yosemite and drive the eastern Sierras often but have never attempted the JMT. Thank you so much for that the thing I think you could have done better is to break up this to 20 videos
Thank you for the feedback. We’ll keep this in mind for our next adventure!! :)
TH-cam thinks that your video and mine should be best friends so here I am 🙂 Great film thanks for making it and sharing with us
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!
Have you heard of Muir Valley in Red River Gorge in KY? It is a great visit. Stay at The Brick, coffee/ice cream shop downstairs. Great resturant right accross the street, Sky Bridge Station. Megels pizza down the road. Beautiful country great for hiking and rock climbing. Enjoy!
We’ll have to check it out next time we’re in the area!
Gorgeous video--with a very mellow vibe. And such incredible weather! Do JMT hikers get trail names or is that just reserved for the PCTers? Why was it that Kevin left? And AT is next?
Thank you!
We had tested out a couple of trail names but I’m not convinced they’ll stick. Unfortunately, Kevin left due to an injury. But we’re hoping to meet up again next year for a section of the AT while Patrick and I are thru hiking!
Wow amazing 🥰🥰🥰🥰
This is truly a great JMT video. I watch quite a few and yours stands out by capturing the beauty of the landscape while sharing your positive spirit (with a nod to some inevitable challenges). My hiking partner and I have been tackling it in 5 day segments for the last decade (with a northern and southern extensions). We've been hiking mostly in August often with skies tainted by wildfires. What time of year was your hike? btw - i agree the hike down to Whitney Portal was brutal.
Thank you for your kind comment! We started at the end of June and were very lucky in avoiding the wildfires this year.
Forgive me if you've already mentioned this: when did you begin and end your trail? The amount of snow and number of bugs tells me it was early to mid-July. OK, I read further in the comments: you began at end of June. Still lots of high altitude snow and many bugs.....
We later found out it was one of the worst mosquito years in recenty memory. They were one of the most challenging parts of the hike!
@@happycamphares5077 I typically roll the dice for a mid-August start, gambling there won't be any/many fires. This year was perfect; I hit the trail 2 weeks after the 3-4 days of heavy rains. No bugs-no snow-no fires. THIS year.
@@MrDrDemento Was there with a start from VVR sobo on June 5 - snow on Muir and Mather Pass, but nothing on Forester, and not many mosquitos compared to my nobo thruhike in August 2019; no black flies which were even more annoying then.
great video!! I have always wanted to do this hike, your video just reignited the desire. My only complaint is that your video lulled me into a false sense of thinking I can just go do it by making it look "not that bad", hahahaha. I'm sure it was very hard work but you guys made it look easy. :) Thank you for sharing! I hope to see more content from you in the future.
Thanks for watching! It was well worth the challenge. Stay tuned - more exciting hikes coming soon!
Never thruhike without a rain coat!!! Hypothermia will kill you ever in summer.
at 46:54 how do you bend your thumb like that? that's pretty awesome!
Its called the "Sierra".
Ha, I UNLOADED all my Spam singles at MTR. The "hamster" you saw is a pika.
One mans trash… :)
Curious about your gear - what tent did you use?
We used the zpacks duplex
No need to ad "mountain range" to the SIERRA NEVADA Spanish for snowy range! The Sierra is John Muir's The Range of Light!!!
Those look like Frog Skins Sunglasses by Oakley
We had sunglasses from Tifosi and Goodr
@@happycamphares5077 Shweeeeeet!!
Are you going to complete the JMT from the Valley to Tuolumne Meadows?
Next we are planning on thru hiking the AT starting February ‘23. Stay tuned!

Rthere bears there
We saw one in Yosemite but didnt see any more the rest of the trip.
Thanks for sharing your adventure. Amazing sound
Thanks for watching!
what month did you begin?
We started at the end of June
How do the people get way up there… you’ll find out if you keep walkin..lol
What about water
Plenty of lakes and streams to filter water along the way
Awesome video. You definitely have room to improve.
We just watched your video and loved it! We are so impressed that you did this hike! It must have been both grueling and also magnificent! We would love to meet you someday! Check out our channel ok? We are the Tin Can Twosome and we love to hike too! God bless you both! Wendy & David
Argh I hate Glen Pass. It's the worst.
I really like your work making the video, that being said maybe you should have sent Patrick out to play with Grizzly Bears or Timber Rattlers, he whines a little to much for a big man. Sorry I just call them like I see them.
I’m quite fond of Patrick so I think I’ll keep him around :)
Thanks for watching
