It stretches from Yosemite Valley to Mount Whitney (4,421m, 14,505ft) straight through the Sierra Nevada mountains, passing through Yosemite National Park, the John Muir and Ansel Adams Wildernesses, Sequoia National Park, and Kings Canyon National Park. Along the way, it passes over 9 major mountain passes: Donohue Pass (3,323m, 10,902ft), Island Pass (3,205m, 10,515ft), Silver Pass (3,180m, 10,433ft), Selden Pass (3,094m, 10,151ft), Muir Pass (3,558m, 11,969ft), Mather Pass (3,700m, 12,139ft), Pinchot Pass (3,797m, 12,457ft), Glen Pass (3,585m, 11,758ft), and Forester Pass (4,009m, 13,153ft). Along the way, I wildcamped and made 2 resupply stops, in Mammoth Lakes and Bishop. Interested in doing this hike?
