John Muir Trail -- watch for starscapes midway

High Sierra HD - Backpacking the John Muir Trail from Pete Bell on Vimeo.

Some Chapel Hill high school boys take to the trail-- and get some great fotos. Good energy from these kids-- and some beautiful previews of what is going to be several nights under the stars.

John Muir Trail 17 days from Yosemite--beautiful and fun to watch

This couple made the best little movie I have seen to date of the John Muir Trail from Yosemite to Mt. Whitney. They did it in 17 days-- which seems reasonable to me.

But fun to watch, and not so self involved as some of the other youtube trip movies.

I like the music, though have no idea what the heck the band is singing.

Probably translates "Go back! Bears are eating everyone!"

I will be bringing walking sticks-- something I didn't have at Yosemite this year. Too many steep declines makes Tim's knees talk loudly.

Picked up a set of maps for the trail today from Metsker Maps
