Re: So Much for the John Muir Trail

I hike the JMT every summer (actually, now I hike more than it, I do the High Sierra portion of the PCT, from Kennedy Meadows (South) to Sonora Pass). I've done the JMT 9 times now. I never worry about getting a permit, there are 100s of options. See the JMT Permit FAQ. http://bit.ly/JMTPermits -- I am the editor of the FAQ by the way. The FAQ explains the various JMT permit options: NOBO, SOBO, MOBO, Shifted SOBO, Shifted NOBO.
