During my thru hike of the John Muir Trail in August, I recorded daily videos of the scenery and snippets of what each day was like! I made these videos as a way to remember details of the trail that may have otherwise been forgotten. Only a week has passed since we finished the hike and these videos already make me smile.

We head down to Vermillion Valley Resort to spend a zero day. Definitely a money pit there, so watch out! I think next time I would only spend an evening and hike out the next day, as there really isn't much to do there. Filmed August 24th-25th, 2019. Follow me on Instagram!
Day 17 of our northbound John Muir Trail northbound thru hike. We leave VVR, make the long climb up Silver Pass, through Tully Hole to camp at beautiful Lake Virgina.
