Planning - John Muir Trail

imported
#1

Hi everyone. I am planning a thru hike for 2017. My dream is to thru hike the A.T., but I have 3 children and I couldn’t leave them for 5-6 months, or my job! My hubby gave me his blessing and my work gave me a leave of absence for 6 weeks.

I would like to hear from those who have completed this trail. How long did it take you? When did you start and finish? I’m torn between this trail and the CT.

Thank you in advance
Kelly

Good luck to you!! Do you have a blog that you will be keeping up on, or a FB page. I would like to follow your journey :slight_smile:

The Colorado Trail would be awesome. Have you also considered the Long Trail in Vermont? That is very doable in less than 6 weeks.
