JMT 2011 - Introduction
Posted by Mark Richardson on Sep 05, 2011
Towards the end of August 2011 I had the absolute pleasure to walk the USA's premier hiking route — The John Muir trail, around 225 miles (ca. 362 km) of backpacking through the pristine wilderness of California's Sierra Nevada.

Mark was the founder of Ultralight Outdoor Gear back in 2006 and has completed long distance backpacking routes in some of the remotest parts of the world. His favourite hikes have been Torres del Paine (full circuit), the John Muir trail and the Markha Valley trail (Ladakh, India). Although semi-retired Mark has not lost any enthusiasm for minimalist backpacking and is tackling Scotland’s Munros choosing multi-day backpacking routes over the more usual guide book excursions. |
