The John Muir Trail follows the backbone of the Sierra Nevada Mountains from Yosemite National Park to the top of Mt. Whitney. This is the story of one couple's adventure as they follow what is perhaps the most magnificent and beautiful trail in the Country. Join this hapless band of hikers as they survive a series of encounters with Mother Nature and the Animal Kingdom, find out why it is that nobody eats dehydrated food unless they have to, and eventually remember that the one constant in life is that there are always lessons waiting to be learned.
