Hiking the John Muir Trail

Online

A little bit of history, a little bit of geography, and a whole lot of wilderness adventure! The John Muir Trail winds for 200 miles through the heart of our very own Sierra Nevada, from Yosemite in the north to Mt. Whitney in the south. Come along and virtually hike “the most beautiful long-distance trail in the world” with an OLLI instructor who has been there, via photos, maps, and stories.
