Hiking the John Muir Trail on October?
I have been planning on hiking the John Muir Trail, but I feel that I'm too late for this season.
As I understand, the best time of the year to hike the J M Trail is between August and Sep, but I really want to go this year.
What would be the disadvantage if going this month?....October.
The weather. It has already snowed once at elevations as low as 4,500 feet and is expected to snow again on Monday and Tuesday. They will be closing Highway 108 and Highway 120 for the season as soon as enough snow accumulates. Don't know how experienced you are, but very little of the trail is snow marked, making it very difficult to follow after a few inches of snow.
October can be a real nice time in the Sierras, or it can be real bad. It's best to plan trips this time of year where you can be out of the back country in a few hours. Last year was in at Wegner Lake about this time, we experienced single digit temperatures and got out just ahead of the storm that closed Tioga Pass for year.
I live just outside of Yosemite, 35 years of backpacking experience, more than a 1,000 mights in the back country.
