- Hi, fam! It’s been way too long. Last July, we set off to thru-hike the John Muir trail and it turned out to be one of the most transformative experiences of our lives. We’re so excited to finally get to share it with you!
In this first episode, we begin our journey at Happy Isles-nervous and so excited-and make our way through the stunning Yosemite National Park. We stop at Cathedral Lakes, Tuolumne Meadows (for our first resupply), and Lyell Canyon…with a big life update along the way.
🌟SUBSCRIBE🌟 so you don’t miss an episode of our brand new John Muir trail series! New episodes coming out every Friday morning!

// 🤷♂️ WHO ARE YOU? 🥾 //
We’re Brittany and Andy, and in July 2021, we set off on a 200-mile journey that began in Yosemite National Park and ended at the top of Mt. Whitney, the highest mountain in the contiguous United States. Along the way, we questioned our sanity, made some amazing friends, cried real tears of joy and even started a new chapter in our lives. Come along with us as we document our journey from Bad Hikers to thru-hikers on the John Muir trail!
Congrats!!!! You two beautiful kids!!! Lovers of life! I wish ye all the best!!!
Thank you so much!! And thank you so much for watching! We can't wait for you to follow along!
@@BadHikers I'm in Canada at the moment... Revelstoke, British Columbia, tomorrow... I'm on my way to Alaska... hope to be there by June. ;) I really enjoy your channel... please keep 'em coming!
Congratulations and best of luck!
!
Ahh thanks so much! Looking forward to sharing the rest with of the trip with you!
I did part of this hike last summer with my son. Great memories. Thanks for the video. Congratulations on your engagement!
Awesome! Thank you! Being able to watch it back makes us want to hike it again soon! Any plans of doing the rest of it with your son?
@@BadHikers thanks for asking. We were going to do the whole thing in 2017, but bailed because of snow. Since then we have done a section pretty much every summer. This year we are going Kearsarge to Taboose Pass, then hopefully finish in 2023. It is taking a while, but we are enjoying the journey. Thanks again for posting your videos.
Yay you are back! Such a good episode. Can't wait to see what happens. You better get lost or hike into the night... otherwise you may need to change the channel name!
WE BACKK!! its been almost a year, and so much has happened but we back!! So excited you watched. They are going to roll out every Friday for the next 2 months!
Can't wait to try this trail myself. It's so beautiful. Congrats on your engagement.
Ahh thanks so much! The JMT is so beautiful every step is a treat! Are you hiking it this year?
No way. I gotta work my way up to that. I've just been doing a bunch of day hikes around where I live in Napa. I hope to do a few overnights later in the fall and then try the JMT next spring if I feel like I'm ready by then. If y'all make it up north, I'd love to show you some of my favorite spots around the bay.
Hello 👋! Beautiful terrain. Glorious elements of nature you tread my friends.👍☘️🌸
Many thanks! The best nature!! Thanks for watching!
Well done. And congratulations. I wish we had slowed down a little more. Next time. Looking forward to the rest of this series.
Ah tahnks so much for watching! And we hope you enjoy the rest of the series! We have a lot of fun coming up!

That is some niiiiice rocky walky!!!!! Can’t wait for the rest of the series 😸
The most rocky walky, gets rockier too!!
@@BadHikers that ROCKS
I'm so excited to follow your JMT Journey! Congrats on your engagement!!! So exciting!!!
Thank you so much!! Let us know what you think of the rest of our struggle lol. And thank you!! 😍
Yay!! I’ve missed your videos! What an awesome first four days! Congrats you two! Can’t wait for the next video! JMT is on my list of trails to do!
Thank you!! The JMT is well worth it -- challenging and so, so beautiful.
You guys completely rock. I hear ya on not rushing it but I still felt like it was impossible to take everything in while we were out there. Even now going back to look at footage, I'm like "holy crap, we actually did that!" Stoked for more episodes!
THANK YOUUUU!!! And YES--looking back on the footage, I can't believe how much we did! I understand why people hike the JMT again and again. We'd start hiking it again today if we could, and I bet it would be a completely different and awesome experience.
Just joined your community watching one of your playlist now pretty cool John Muir trail
Welcome to our little community! We're so happy to have you!
I missed episode 1... time to catch up!!
I have trouble motivating myself to walk to the kitchen. Well done.
I think its time you come visit and we summit Hood together!
That was Amazing! So envious, I want to see Yosemite so bad.
Ahh thank you so much! Yosemite is a dream!! A must visit forsure!
We were there July last year as well and holy heck, it was HOT
YES! It was so hot I wasn't entirely sure we were going to make it out of the valley!
@@BadHikers we accidentally started hiking out of the valley at 1 PM. Huge. Mistake. I have issues with heat exhaustion and we had to slow down significantly because the first day hit me so hard. Unfortunately we didn't have time to slow down due to limited time off of work, so we dipped out at red's. Have permits to go back this year and hopefully finish it out! Fingers crossed for less heat lol
@@SonicAndTrippy Oh no! Glad you're safe -- and that you have another chance to tackle it this year! I feel like no one really tells you how quickly your plans on trail go out the window. We ended up on a completely different timeline than we expected, which luckily ended up working out for our Whitney summit. We're rooting for you on this go around! There are so many beautiful things to see after Red's!
Looks awesome. I hiked the JMT in 2019 and had the best time. What camera did you use? Nice DOF.
Heyy! Thanks so much and congrats on your 2019 trip! Brittany used the Sony ZV-1 and I filmed on a Sony A6500
HELLO STRANGERS
We back!!!!! Cant wait to share this series, should be 7 or 8 eps!! How have you all been!
If her toes ain't curled at every lake and pass then idk what to say. I watched a few other videos prior to this, but saying yes only gets you to [close to] where you've already been. Open up the trail and stop getting older..
No more getting older! although we have been having fun with our time here!
