  • In August 2021, I solo thru-hiked the John Muir Trail northbound from Horseshoe Meadow via Cottonwood Pass to Happy Isles in Yosemite National Park. On Day 4, I hiked 19 miles, from Bighorn Plateau to Kearsarge Lakes (heading towards Onion Valley for first resupply). I also summited my first major pass, Forester Pass, at elevation 13200 ft.

    Your video brings back fond memories. But your audio is really hard to understand. Can you add captions so we can enjoy it more?
