The hubs and I roadtripped down to Cali and spent four days on the JMT this month. We started at Tuolumne, were surprised at the beauty of Lyell Canyon, tackled Donahue Pass out of Yosemite, filled up our camera's memory at the lakes, and exited at Agnew Meadows via the River Trail. It was challenging and spectacular, especially past 1000 Island lake. Snow was manageable, but skeeters most definitely were not. Amazing trip, highly recommended. Insanely easy public transportation to and from trailheads.
