    Reno & Nearby CA Backpackers Planning & Training for the JMT

    Link to site

    This meetup.com group is for Reno and nearby California area (a triangle from Sacramento-to-Bishop-to-Reno/Sparks) backpackers interesting in planning, training and doing the John Muir Trail (JMT), either a segment or a full through-hike of the JMT. The JMT is consistently voted the world's most famous remote-wilderness long distance roadless trail, starting from Happy Isles in Yosemite Valley and ending at Whitney Portal after 218 miles, 11 passes, and the lower 48 state's highest mountain, Mt. Whitney. The organizer of this meetup group is the lead moderator of the Yahoo JohnMuirTrail Group (~3400 members) and has done the JMT 7 times. He lives in Reno.

    Because the geographic area is so large, this group is soliciting many more event organizers, one for the Mammoth-Bishop Area, one for the South Lake Tahoe Area, and one for the Sacramento Area. The founder of this group is from Reno.

    Join this group if you are interested in planning, doing or hiking the JMT yourself and want to meet others in your area who are likewise interested. If interested in similar High Sierra long distance hikes, this group is for you too.

    Message me individually if you are in the areas needing an event organizer and if you want to become one.

    Please be aware that this group makes use of the Discussions, Poll, and Files Tab available to each meetup.com group. Look on home page for the tabs to navigate to those pages. Please make use of each of these pages!

    On January 13, 2015, in Reno, is it's first scheduled meeting. 42 people have signed up, there is room for 100. Signup at the meetup page (link at top of this posting).
