[pct-l] John Muir Trail Questions



Yep, Yosemite Valley to Independence would be an aggressive 9 days. Perhaps
better possibilities for east-side exit would be Piute Pass or Bishop Pass.
Both trailheads are busy, so hitching into Bishop should be easy. From
there, however, it's a long haul back to Fresno or Modesto; you might be
better off with a return flight out of Mammoth or, more likely, Reno.
