Thru-Hiking the John Muir Trail

Thru-hiking the epic 211-mile John Muir Trail is the adventure of a lifetime. Join our community manager Emma Massick and Six-Pack of Peaks Ambassador Tara Magpusao for a dive into how to prepare for this fantastic, multi-week backpacking adventure.

Emma solo hiked the entire JMT back in 2019. She is joined Tara who has also thru-hiked the JMT, and together they will share advice on gear, training, planning a successful thru-hike, getting permits, scheduling resupply points and more. They will share their personal highs and lows as well as what they would do differently “next time.”
