I agree the JMT is a fantastic trail, scenery supreme and one of the longest stretch of trail that doesn't cross a road.

Lots of hungry bears just waiting to steal your food too, if you're not careful.

This is the trail I dream of hiking after I complete all of my AT sections in another 15 years!

I hiked the JMT this summer also, and had a great time. The scenery is simply stunning.

Haiku.

The JMT is as good as it gets. If you want some solitude, head north with the handful of PCT hikers in early-mid June. Incredible scenery, lots of solitude. Just have to deal with the snow, which is part of the fun. 10 days for the JMT is pretty quick, but I suppose not having a lot of snow helps a bit.
