John Muir Wilderness 1992
| Miles | Days | Total Elevation | Fun Facts |
| 38.7 | 10 | 16,084 ft | Longest trip to date and one off our most memorable |
After 5 years of plowing through the Emigrant, it was time to take on a new wilderness and John Muir fit the bill. Believe this was George's pick and was also to be our longest trip to date. Given the distance to the Seven Gables Basin, pack in was a must and the High Sierra Pack Station was our jump off point. Great outfit, getting us to our drop point and also positioning our SUV so we could walk out a different route, basically avoiding a nasty up and down. This area has some of the most spectacular scenery, rugged and raw high elevations (10k+) and lightly traveled. Bonus was bluebird skies for the entire trip.
