About The SHR: June 21st-July 13th

Most are familiar with the John Muir Trail in the Sierra Mountains of California. The Sierra High Route is the JMT’s big brother on steroids. I’ve included the JMT on here for reference of where the SHR goes. Note that the SHR is a route, meaning that much of the hike (~100mi) is cross country over talus, boulders, and alpine meadows. The more arduous navigation and hiking pays off in the solitude that is found in such remote places. I hiked with my friends Rockin’ and Why Not. We hiked early season, so there was plenty of snow to contend with still on the passes. The majority of the route is between 10,000-12,000ft. Mileages are significantly lower given the terrain and strenuous elevation gain/loss. Hope you enjoy the journey. This one was pretty grand!
