JMT GPS Tracks and Google Earth

[Mr. Parkay]

Hello All,

I've created a gps track for the John Muir Trail which some of you might find useful.

The GPS track is available for download on my website: parkaymaps ... near the top of the page.

The track is available in Google Earth KML format and GPX Format. Plus there's a GPS track for the Mount Whitney Trail (from the Whitney Portal.)

I created the tracks by tracing the exact route as shown on the USGS topo maps, then I corrected that route based on satellite images in a few places. These GPS tracks are probably the most accurate available on the internet.... including the one one on the National Geographic MapXchange website (which I can't seem to locate any more).

I've made an elevation profile too of course... although, I like some of the others online better.

Also, check out the Mount Whitney area using the "terrain" option in Google Earth. It's pretty cool. It looks like this.
