Our journey on the JMT is almost over but not without some intrigue! After being in a "heat bubble' for most of our hike, thunderstorms started to build and hit us on the exposed section of trail at the top of Forrester Pass. We decided to go past Crabtree Meadows to Guitar Lake and in another very exposed place, endured 2.5hrs of thunderstorms. It was a beautiful but challenging day on the John Muir Trail. Day 13: Bubbs Creek to Guitar Lake 21.28 Miles 5,172ft of Elevation Gain -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #hiking #thruhiking #backpacking #johnmuirtrail #jmt -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!): https://uppbeat.io/t/qube/no-pain-no-gain License code: IBUACMU1RMBAG5ZJ -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Heartwarming by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Source: http://incompetech.com/music/royalty-free/index.html?isrc=USUAN1100207 Artist: http://incompetech.com/
