JMT++ Day 24: Mount Whitney, Rock Creek

After completing and vlogging each of the USA's "Big Three" trails (Appalachian Trail 2021, Continental Divide Trail 2022, Pacific Crest Trail 2023), I return to the High Sierra in 2024 for a nice, 300mi+ hike of its high passes, its crystal clear lakes, and its enchanting views. Hiking through these trails last year I encountered the record-shattering snows of 2023, and while I enjoyed that experience in hindsight, I am eager to embark on what I hope might a little less death-defying and a little more accessible beauty. I'll tack about a hundred miles onto the north end of the JMT, as well as good miles into the middle and end of that trail, hence "JMT++." Follow along this exciting return adventure!

Congratulations, you could see it in your eyes the peace you find in such “ silence ❤️” only hikers know that feeling being one with nature ❤️ thank you for your amazing videos 😁

I really wasn't expecting that moment on Whitney, but the mountain gave it to me anyways and I couldn't be more appreciative! I think the dark and the solitude create the environment for that peace and connection

Nice work! We had a similar schedule on the way up. We stopped every mile to turn our lamps off and stare at the stars for a few minutes. We also saw 1/2 dozen or so shooting stars. It was 41 and dead calm for us at the top. Just perfect. One of my fav pics of the hike was down through the “V” to Lone Pine just after starting down (that you videoed). It was weird getting close back to camp and people saying “good morning” as it felt like the end of the day! We snoozed for 2-3 hours and went just past Guyot Pass to the flats to a dry camp before Rock Creek. I heard it was “Gee-oh” (hard g) but I heard it multiple ways so not positive.

Congrats on your big day. The 2 times at Crabtree there was no screen fence around the toilet. Just out in the open. U had it nice.

@travelinbeat День назад

Haha, yes as filmed, it is the very pinnacle of luxury!!

@aisfx5197 4 дня назад

Love the videos! I must have missed it in an earlier video, when/why did your plan change to not head all the way to KMS?

@travelinbeat День назад

Good question, I somehow failed to explain this abbreviation-- there was (is, maybe?) a closure between Cottonwood and KMS on account of a fire. 2 of the 3 jurisdictions reopened their stretches of trail, but the 3 was holding out in spite of the fire being extinguished. It was frustrating, but there's nothing I could do, so that last ~47mi was nixed
