Looks like something you'd see in the Lord of the Rings. Nice shot.

The Yosemite Association web-cam often is a very goof photographer! This is from the same storm.

I have to admit it was amazing being there. One minute it was snowing like crazy, the next it was sunny. Weather is crazy in the mountains. Love it.

Awesome. Seems like everything is spectacular on the John Muir trail. Question for me is, being I'm a nooby, is the John Muir trail simply ONE trail that goes all over? Or is it indeed multiple ones?

Has anyone here done the entire thing? Definitely seems like something I need to put on my bucket list.

OH YES! I've done half of it continuously and plan on doing all of it this year. I read somewhere that it is the single most popular long distance trail in the world? I can't guarantee that but the amount of people on it sure makes it that way.

Here's a photo from a place on it:

Probably my single favorite scene while on it almost 2 year ago.

So you see a lot of people on it even that far in the woods? Interesting. Would think you'd be further away from people more than anything.
