JMT Mileage and Elevation Chart
Below is a chart of the John Muir Trail mileage
and elevation. The elevaton change between locations has not been inlcuded since there are some
ups and downs in between points that are not accounted for on the chart. I've also noticed different
sources have slightly different elevations for the same locations- but the numbers at a minimum are in ballpark.
Of coirse there's a lot more junctions and places that I could list but I am keeping the list manageable. | Mileage | Section
