2016 is here and I am already getting fired up for new adventures. For those joining me on the trail this year, I am committed to doing at least one segment of the John Muir Trail in late summer/early fall. The JMT is a 211 mile trail that starts at Yosemite and terminates at Mt. Whitney (assuming you are going north to south). I haven't nailed down dates, but figure a 3-4 day, point-to-point trek covering 30 to 40 miles beginning with the Yosemite portion. I've got a fancy new Osprey and I need an excuse to use it. Planning sessions will be convened in the coming days.
Also, the Sherpas are attempting to complete the Six Pack of Peaks. This is as much a logistical challenge as it is a physical one. Carving out the time to not only get back in shape but to actually schedule a couple days here and there to complete the hikes will be harder than you think. Nevertheless, Darin threw down the gauntlet, so it has to be done. Plus, I want the t-shirt. Add this to the planning session. Game on.

who is Ed?I'm a long-time hiker. That's not to be confused with a climber, which I'm not. I don't know every trail here in SoCal, but I've certainly been on a lot of them. Rain or shine, to me, it's always time to get outside. Archives
