In this post, learn about all the ultralight backpacking gear I used on my southbound thru-hike of the Continental Divide Trail in 2023.

Learn about all the training I did to prepare for my 93-day thru-hike of the 2,653-mile Pacific Crest Trail from Mexico to Canada!

In August 2021, I thru-hiked the 210-mile John Muir Trail. It was easily the best (and hardest) thing I’ve ever done in my life and I encourage anyone who wants to do it one day to just go for it. The first step to making your John Muir Trail thru-hike dream a reality is to get a permit. In this post, I’ll walk you through all the permit application options and logistics so you know what you need to do in order to score a John Muir Trail Permit for the 2024 hiking season.
