HikerFeed for the John Muir Trail

The most complete way to track and share your John Muir Trail hike

Record your route, daily miles, passes, camps, photos, pins, and reflections from Yosemite to Whitney in one shareable expedition log.

From Yosemite to Whitney

One expedition log for the whole Sierra crossing.

HikerFeed is not a replacement for permits, maps, guide apps, or official wilderness rules. It is the place for the hike itself: the route you walked, the passes you crossed, the camps you remember, and the people following from home.

Track

Keep each JMT day in order.

Save the route, distance, steps, camps, passes, photos, pins, and notes for each day while the Sierra is still fresh.

Share

Give friends and family one expedition page.

Share publicly or privately so people back home can follow the hike without piecing together texts, photo dumps, and workout posts.

Relive

Come back to the trail after Whitney.

When the miles are done, your climbs, lakes, storms, camps, resupply stops, comments, and reflections are still connected.

Built for serious trail days

More durable than scattered posts. More personal than a route file.

Route memory

Remember where the day happened

Keep each update tied to the places, distances, pins, photos, camps, and pass crossings that made the day specific.

Trail journal

Write what the Sierra felt like

A few lines at camp can carry more truth than a polished recap later. Keep those reflections with the route.

Follower feed

Make the expedition easy to follow

Let supporters see where you are and what the day felt like without turning a remote wilderness trip into constant posting.

JMT hikers

Built for permit winners, thru-hikers, and section hikers.

The JMT is a high-commitment trip whether you hike the whole line or a major Sierra section. HikerFeed keeps each day connected to the larger story.

Permit holders

Permit to finish

Turn a hard-won JMT permit into a day-by-day archive from the first Yosemite miles through the final Whitney push.

Thru-hikers

Pass by pass

Track the full line with mileage, route context, photos, pins, and reflections that make the expedition readable later.

Section hikers

Sierra sections

Use the same trail log for shorter JMT sections, high-route weekends, and repeat Sierra trips worth remembering.

Plan with official resources

Use HikerFeed to remember and share the hike itself.

For permits, bear canister rules, trail conditions, resupply policies, and wilderness regulations, verify details with the National Park Service, PCTA, Forest Service, and current local sources. Use HikerFeed as the route recorder, journal, photo map, and sharing layer beside those tools.
