A lot of positive reviews here. When I did the JMT a few years ago, I cut out the pages I needed, and used this with the Harrison map pack.The information on campsites ahead, terrain, and water availability was right on.
To me the most useful part of the book was the camps, along with the mileage. Very Informative. This book, along with the JMT map-pack, is all you need to plan & complete the JMT. This allowed me to plan where I wanted to camp & how many days I'd be on the trail.
I am getting ready for the John Muir Trail in 2010 and this is a great book. Lists good camping spots, mileage charts and lots of other useful information.
This summer when I go explore JMT sections, this will be the book I carry.Happy Trails
However, while trying to describe each section from both directions is admirable, a description from one direction only could have provided an opportunity for additional detail. 12) with information on how to get from one trailhead to the next is particularly helpful. I wish that they were larger though. it has a good list of how to prepare and sources of additional information. Descriptions of each section seem good.
I am looking forward to the walk and hope that I have room in the pack for this book. This seems to be a good primer for those taking their first stroll down the JMT (me). The Transportation section (pp. The trail profile diagrams at the front of each segment are very useful.
