Hiking the John Muir Trail 2025

We hiked northbound (NOBO) on the John Muir Trail (JMT) in August/September 2025 over 15 days from the Cottonwood Lake trailhead to Happy Isles. This trip was the longest thru-hike we have done to date, our first hike in the backcountry of the USA and the most remote/wilderness backpacking trip we have done. It was an incredible experience and we hope you enjoy our video! Let us know in the comments if you have any questions!
