JMT Muir Pass

were these photos taken on July 4, 2016 ?

Sweet Jay.

the first time I went over Muir on the south lake north lake loop it was buried in snow for a mile and a half on either side, especially the east approach. that outlet stream in your picture was under snow. i wasn’t happy when I heard it under my feet. You can’t see the hut from below approaching from the east and I was tired from sun cups and almost wandered off into another drainage.

Just gorgeous country all around. Tell us about the trip!

This was my favorite stretch of the JMT last summer and I think about it almost daily. The descent SOBO from the pass is absolutely gorgeous and I can’t wait until I next have the chance to be in the area. It didn’t work out this summer although I’ll be fairly close in the basin above Lake Sabrina in a couple weeks.

please share more photos!

Lovely. Were you doing North Lake / South Lake loop?
