[pct-l] hiking the John Muir Trail

[Ken Powers]

We hiked the JMT in 1998 and 1999 starting Labor Day weekend both years. We 
picked that time because we thought the crowds would be smaller.  We still 
saw plenty of people, but didn't feel like we were in a parade. I would 
recommend early September as a good starting date.

1998 was a high snow year and the flowers were great - like walking thru a 
garden most of the way. 1999 was a lower snow year but was still a fun hike 
and very different than 1998.

I am planning on hiking the john muir trail some time between mid august and
mid september. What is the best times to hike it. One factor for me would be
to avoid the major crowds. I would like to hike it in 15 which would include
1 rest day. Thanks for your input
