If someone here has hiked the John Muir Trail I have some questions:
I've noticed one can do guided trips that thru hike this trail. But cost is about 4000 $ and that doesn't include cost to get there. Is it/can it be much cheaper if one goes on own and unguided?
I have solo thru hiked the Appalachian Trail a few years back. Would I be safe or should I be concerned about solo hiking the JMT?
just how crowded is the trail really? I read that it has very much been discovered!
what is best month to hike it?
Is it true that it hardly ever rains there during summer?
how tough is trail compared to AT?
Thanks,
DavidNH
