JMT Day 13: Muir Trail Ranch

Wednesday, August 03, 2011
	Destination: near San Joaquin River bridge Starting Location: Senger Creek	Today's Miles: 10.20 Trip Miles: 121.10

Woke up relatively late today and had a big descent to Muir Trail Ranch for our final resupply. 

  It was a nice transaction, however, we ended up leaving a lot of food behind due to our early arrival.  We swapped out some food from the hiker barrels as well.  My pack weight topped 50 pounds and I felt it the rest of the day.
After leaving Muir Trail Ranch we couldn't find the trail back to the JMT, so we just went off trail with the GPS.  A family followed us, so it was good to find the trail again!

We left the John Muir Wilderness and entered King's Canyon National Park today as well!  It's supposed to be spectacular!

There was beautiful hiking along the San Joaquin River.

We found a nice campsite a little before the trail crosses the river and begins its climb to evolution valley.   Josh cooked up some high quality food to eat.
