Such a beautiful representation of an exquisite place! You've made a master class for framing shots. Many times I said "Wow" and rewatched a scene, especially the delicious rock skipping moment. The pacing and attention to detail are ideal and I really enjoyed seeing the birds and wildlife. Superb start to finish!
@@Pandarazza I appreciate your feedback! I'm glad you enjoyed the details and pacing, especially the rock skipping scene. It's always rewarding to hear that the effort put into framing and capturing the essence of the place came through. Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts!
I took 16 days and my body was breaking by the end. I guess is pays to be young - 12 days with a zero is fast!!! Congrats, not only on the hike but the wonderful pics/video's. Well done!!!👏👏👏
@@wellseasonedhiker Thank you so much! 16 days is impressive, and I know how much of a toll it can take on the body by the end. Pacing yourself and pushing through is key, no matter how long it takes! If I get another chance to do it, I’ll definitely take more time off to hike it. I’m really glad you enjoyed the video. Congrats on your hike as well!
Thank you for sharing your JMT adventure with us. I appreciate the work you put into creating and sharing your video as well. I hiked the PCT in '21 and I'm itching to get back...but this time to the JMT. Thanks for the inspiration and helping me make the decision final! ~Meat Grinder
Thank you! I definitely pushed myself to keep a fast pace: the scenery kept me motivated, and those early morning starts helped too. I didn’t have much time to finish it, so I had to keep moving!
@ Thanks! Yeah, those “camera retrieval missions” are definitely part of the process, haha. It takes a bit of extra hiking to capture those shots, but it’s worth it to really share the experience. Glad you noticed and appreciate the effort!
@@soniadowney7427 Thank you for your kind comment! I’m glad the video gave you a glimpse of the beauty of the JMT. If you ever decide to hike it one day, it’ll be a journey you won’t forget!
Props for the amount of miles covered each day AND shooting some amazing footage. I hiked Tuolumne Meadows to South Lake the end of July... your video captures so much of experience. EXCELLENT job!
@@runtravelfamilytonystrapec9761 You’re so welcome! I’m thrilled you enjoyed it! I hope you get to walk this trail someday…it’s a journey like no other!
@@iskosalminen Thank you! The Sierra is truly magical…so glad the video brought back those memories for you. And yeah, 12 days(including a zero) on the JMT was quite a challenge, but the experience was totally worth it!
@@jasonmobil "Merci Jason, j’apprécie ton commentaire. Nous laissez guider à travers la symphonie silencieuse de la nature, où chaque pause et chaque murmure raconte une histoire. Ce fut une randonnée méditative comme je l’ai aimes.
@@brendtoconnell6119 Thank you! Mailing my food felt a bit like sending care packages to my future self…just hoping I wouldn't forget to pick them up! My second time in Mammoth Lake city, love it.
I was nobo at the same time, so we passed each other somewhere. Great filming. I’m impressed with how you made it appear that you were the only person out there.
Thanks! That’s awesome to hear that we were out there at the same time. It wasn’t too challenging to make it look like I had the place to myself-I woke up early at 5 a.m. each day and started hiking by 6 a.m., so there weren’t many people around, except in the more popular areas. Hope your hike was great!
Yes it was a hard 26-mile day, Mather Pass and Pinchot Pass were both tough but stunning. I don’t usually hike this much but I really wanted to camp near Rae Lake.
Merci Martin, j’apprécie ton feedback! Je suis content que ça ta donné le sentiment d'être là, c'est ce que j'espérais capturer! Si ça peux inciter du monde à aller faire cette merveilleuse randonnée alors mission accompli!
@@heroger79 ! Merci! Comme tu le sait ça demande un effort supplémentaire pour mettre en place la cam, filmé, puis revenir pour la récupérer et quelque fois recommencer ça car n’a pas bien fonctionné. Mais j’y suis habituer, ça me ralenti mais pas t’en que ça. J’aime revivre l’expérience une fois la trail terminée et pouvoir la partager en vaut vraiment la peine 😅
What a splendid trip and video. Did you encounter a lot of hikers? I'm sure more than the video lets on. How much of it runs alongside the PCT? And how is it you have less subs than me? There's no justice here on the tubes.
@@RhodySeth Thank you Seth! I’m glad you enjoyed it. There were definitely more hikers than shown, especially in the more popular sections, but I tried to focus on capturing the solitude of the trail when possible. I saw many northbound hikers coming my way. They share a good portion of the same path, it overlaps with the PCT for about 160 miles. Haha, the RUclips algorithm can be a mystery sometimes, you post videos more regularly compare to me, it must help!
Thanks for this. I'm actually leaving tomorrow to hike the northern section of the trail. We have loads of time so I hope to see some things off the main route. It will be Duck Lake to Happy Isle. One thing I noticed is you picked my favorite campsite at Cathedral Lake. The first time I was there was 50+ years ago. It is still the same. It is so much work to set up all those shots, I wonder how you had time to hike. Were there really no other people on the trail or on the summit of Witney?
Thank you! You were there at that spot 50+ years ago? that's incredible! Glad to hear that this place still holds its charm after all that time. It definitely took some extra effort to set up all those shots, but I'm use to it by now, placing the camera, filming, then doubling back to grab it. It added some time to each day but i woke up at 5am everyday and was good to go by 6am, so it didn't slow me down too much. As for Whitney, I came across a bunch of hikers coming down from the top, when I hit the summit there were actually only 3 other hikers, it was 2pm, I tried to frame the scenes to keep the focus on the landscape. Enjoy your hike and take in those off-route gems!
I really enjoyed this video. Since no fires are allowed above 10K feet, can you still use a pocket rocket type stove or do you use something like a hat pack?
@@HikingWithShawn I'm glad you enjoyed the video! Yes, you can still use a portable stove like a pocket rocket. They are allowed because they don’t have the same environmental impact as open fires. Didn’t bring any stove, I was cold soaking my food (coucous for about 7-8 min and added tuna for more proteins)
Thank you, glad for liked it. Biggest day was about 27 miles but an average of 19 miles / day for 11 days of hiking, didn’t have plenty of time to hike it.

Thank you! I’m so glad the video helped inspire you. The JMT is incredible, and with your PCT experience, you’ll love it even more. Happy trails!
Very good filming, captures the trail brilliantly, one of the best l've seen, well done!
@@HendoTalks Thank you so much! The John Muir Trail is such a stunning place, so capturing its beauty was a necessity.
12 days for the JMT is just wild; that’s normally a 21 day hike. Magnificent!
Thank you! I definitely pushed myself to keep a fast pace: the scenery kept me motivated, and those early morning starts helped too. I didn’t have much time to finish it, so I had to keep moving!
Not only that, but there was a few shots where he had to go quite a ways back to retrieve his camera, lol. A lot of effort went into this.
@ Thanks! Yeah, those “camera retrieval missions” are definitely part of the process, haha. It takes a bit of extra hiking to capture those shots, but it’s worth it to really share the experience. Glad you noticed and appreciate the effort!

Thank you for watching and for the positive feedback! The JMT is an unforgettable adventure as you know it.
I'm glad the video resonated with you!
Thank you for that incredible share ! Even more crazy that you create the images with your iPhone ! I wish I will walk that Trail once ….
