are there any websites that offer free trail information including GPS waypoints?

Any suggestions for a good 6 day through hike in the sierras or Yosemite, California area?


Please help

A guidebook entitled the John Muir Trail by Elizabeth Wenk and Kathy Morey, Wilderness Press, has GPS coordinates for countless campsites and major trail junctions. It is an excellent guide that includes side hikes, trail info, and FAQs covering many if not all JMT topics. It includes photo copies of the Harrison maps. It divides the trail into sections for both north to south and south to north hikes.

Another good guide is entitled Day & Section Hikes of the JMT, by Kathleen Dodge.

For a popular section hike, look up the "Rae Lakes Loop Hike".

Here is a free site with GPS Lat/Long:
