Hiking the John Muir Trail – Garnet Lake to Tulley’s Hole

Things really kicked in on the trip as we pushed 18+ miles on day 3 past Devil’s Postpile into Tulley’s Hole. Yet more scenery to wow!

It was hard to believe the contrast between this area and over the ridge to Devil’s Postpile.

Day34DevilPP

Devil’s Postpile National Monument was probably the least favourite part of my trip just becauseone has to trudge through a hot, dry valley in thick dust and sand. It saps your energy, but it does surprise you with views like this.

This looks like a member of the gooseberry family, but I wasn’t prepared to take a risk and find out I was wrong. Anyone?

Day34bridge

Climbing out of the valley, things got a lot more hospitable… er hairy as we encountered some of the JMT’s famous bridges. It’s no where near as dicey as it looks.

This photo would have been amazing if I had god the lighting correct! Yay for trying!

Day34fish

In pretty much every lake I was teased by sights like this. Every now and then I got lucky too! (see below).

Nothing like a bit of really fresh sushi to keep you going on day 4!
