> I'm doing the John Muir Trail for the first 3 weeks in July.  I've done 3-4 day hikes in the Cottonwood and Mt. Whitney areas with someone, however, I'm planning on doing this one alone.  I have some worry warts around me saying that it's not smart.  I re-assure them, that there are plenty of people hiking the trail if anything would happen.
