    Thank you for sharing this, I'm actually in the process of planning a week trek of JMT next year...work willing of course .

    How difficult was it to plan your campsites where you could hang and also do you recommend an area within JMT where trees are abundant?

    My plan next year is to possibly spend at least 5 days...so not nearly enough days for a thru-hike. But hanging vs. bringing a tent was definitely something I have to research more on.

    Again, your pictures are absolutely breathtaking!

    Just looking at the pictures I am transfixed. It's so easy to loose sight of the fact that these places are out there to be visited. Especially when we stare at the same familiar locations day in and day out.

    Google Earth works pretty good, or at least it does on the PCT/Tahoe Rim Trail around Tahoe. If you can't find a JMT earth file, there are full PCT ones out there

    Great set of pics from an outstanding area. Two questions:
    #1 Those trees looked pretty sparse, did you hammock camp? Did you have to go to ground at any point? Any pic's of your hang?
    #2 Having hanged with you at the First Annual Oregon Hang, it looks like your pack is smaller / lighter. Did you take any weight out of your system? If yes, what did you adjust? I am curious, as it looked like you had really thought out your gear, and if there were reductions, it would be great to know where and how.

    OK, so that was more than two questions.......

    I hung my hammock each night, sleeping like a log. Did not have to go to ground at all.

    At the Oregon Hang, I knew it was a short hike, with only a couple of nights, so I brought the kitchen sink. For the JMT, it was the opposite. I brought only the following gear: WBBB, pad, Western Mountaineering Mitylite as a quilt, OES tarp, a small piece of Tyvek for a "doormat" for the hammock, my White box stove, a tea kettle, 1st aid kit, toiletry bag, spare clothing, rain gear, camp shoes, and 2 BV500s for food. I carried 16 ounces of alcohol for the trip that was expected to be 20 days. For those interested, I do not use the stove for anything other than FBC for 1 meal a day. No hot drinks or other meals. I could have planned on buying some alcohol at Muir Trail Ranch, but did not think that 8 ounces was what was going to put me over the top.

    Wow! Great pics and report. That's twice today that someone on here has added to my bucket list. Just going to have to get a bigger bucket, I guess!
