The John Muir Trail (JMT)
(Paiute: Nüümü Poyo, N-ue-mue Poh-yo)

is a long-distance trail in the Sierra Nevada
mountain range of California, passing through
Yosemite, Kings Canyon and Sequoia National Parks.

From the northern terminus at Happy Isles in
Yosemite Valley (37.7317°N 119.5587°W)
and  the southern terminus located on
the summit of Mount Whitney (36.5785°N 118.292°W),
the Trail's length is 213.7 miles (343.9 km),[1][2]
with a total elevation gain of approximately
47,000 feet (14,000 m).[2]

For almost all of its length, the trail is in the
High Sierra backcountry and wilderness areas.[a]
For about 160 miles (260 km), the trail follows the
same footpath as the longer Pacific Crest Trail.
It is named after John Muir, a naturalist.
