Thanks

We liked the essential JMT guide by
Elizabeth Wenk. Half Dome is a 4 mile round trip. If you Goggle John Muir trail you will find some great sites from folks that have hike the trail.

The Alan Castle Cicerone guide has some good data in it. The side trip up half dome is worth it, but get there at sunrise to beat the crowds.

Elizabeth Wenk’s book is da bomb. I wish I’d had it when I did my thru-hike.

I have Wenk’s book and it is great. I feel completely prepared for our hike this June! Either the valley to mammoth or toulomne to mammoth. Not sure yet.
