The John Muir Trail, one of the world's most spectacular treks, passes through the unspoilt wilderness of the American West and crosses three national parks: Yosemite, Kings Canyon and Sequoia. It runs for 216 miles through the high Sierra Nevada mountains of California, from Yosemite Valley to the summit of Mount Whitney (14,496 feet), the highest peak in the USA outside Alaska.
