Stretching over 339km, the John Muir Trail is one of the country\u2019s most iconic hikes, taking anywhere between two and four weeks. Descend through canyons, edge around granite cliffs, look over lakes and wander by waterfalls as you traverse through beautiful national parks and wilderness areas, including Yosemite and Sequoia National Park. Finish at Mount Whitney, California\u2019s highest peak, for a truly breathtaking experience.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
