The John Muir Trail (JMT) is a long-distance trail in the Sierra Nevada mountain range of California, passing through Yosemite, Kings Canyon and Sequoia National Parks. From the northern terminus at Happy Isles in Yosemite Valley () and the southern terminus located on the summit of Mount Whitney (), the Trail's official length is . For almost all of its length, the trail is in the High Sierra backcountry and wilderness areas.〔The trail passes near a road only at the northern terminus, in Tuolumne Meadows in Yosemite National Park ( See ) and at Red's Meadow near Devils Postpile National Monument〕 For about , the trail, named for naturalist John Muir, follows the same footpath as the longer Pacific Crest Trail. The vast majority of the trail is situated within designated wilderness. The trail passes through large swaths of alpine and high mountain scenery, and lies almost entirely at or above in elevation. About 35% of the trail, including the entirety of the last , lie above .〔(JMT elevation profile )〕 The trail has been described as "America's most famous trail"; known for its relative solitude, the trail sees about 1,500 thru-hiking attempts each year (including Pacific Crest Trail thru-hikers), much fewer than the number of attempts on comparable walks such as the southern portion of Appalachian Trail or the Way of St. James.〔〔(JMT FAQ )〕〔According to the PCTA, roughly 1500-2000 people people attempt to thru-hike the PCT each year. (An estimate ) shows that an equal number of JMT only hikers attempt the trail as well.〕〔(AT Conservancy statistics )〕 ==Route==
The official length of the JMT, as stated by the United States Geological Survey (USGS), is . From its northern terminus in Yosemite Valley, the trail runs northeast, passing south of Half Dome and then on to Tuolumne Meadows. From Tuolumne Meadows the trail turns south, running parallel to the main range of the Sierra Nevada, through Yosemite National Park, Inyo and Sierra national forests (including the John Muir Wilderness and Ansel Adams Wilderness), passing through Devils Postpile National Monument, Kings Canyon National Park, and ending on Mount Whitney in Sequoia National Park. From the southern terminus of the JMT at the summit of Mount Whitney, an additional hike on the Mount Whitney Trail is required to reach the nearest trailhead at Whitney Portal, thus making an end-to-end traverse of the JMT effectively .
