When I did the JMT a few years ago, I cut out the pages I needed, and used this with the Harrison map pack.The information on campsites ahead, terrain, and water availability was right on. A lot of positive reviews here.
Very Informative. This allowed me to plan where I wanted to camp & how many days I'd be on the trail. This book, along with the JMT map-pack, is all you need to plan & complete the JMT. To me the most useful part of the book was the camps, along with the mileage.
Lists good camping spots, mileage charts and lots of other useful information. I am getting ready for the John Muir Trail in 2010 and this is a great book.
This summer when I go explore JMT sections, this will be the book I carry.Happy Trails
I am looking forward to the walk and hope that I have room in the pack for this book. I wish that they were larger though. The trail profile diagrams at the front of each segment are very useful.
it has a good list of how to prepare and sources of additional information. Descriptions of each section seem good. This seems to be a good primer for those taking their first stroll down the JMT (me).
However, while trying to describe each section from both directions is admirable, a description from one direction only could have provided an opportunity for additional detail. The Transportation section (pp.
12) with information on how to get from one trailhead to the next is particularly helpful.
