The Sierra High Route is packed with expedition-style adventure! The trek is 195 miles and the terrain is mostly off trail. This means that there will be a lot of route finding and long physical days, but also a lot of reward.

For the heartiest of hikers and those who like to set big goals, the John Muir Trail awaits. This legendary trail named after the visionary John Muir offers the finest scenery the California Sierra Nevada has to share along its 211 mile route.
