BIG SEKI LOOP, 9 Days backpacking Sequoia Kings Canyon National Park & Hiking John Muir Trail - JMT

Backpacking & Hiking Sequoia Kings Canyon National Parks Big SEKI Loop (northern half) JMT, a 9 day journey through light and waterfalls. John Muir Trail in 4k 60fps. Sierra Nevada Range, California.

This is a video from a 9 day backpacking loop doing the northern half of the BIG SEKI LOOP in Sequoia Kings Canyon National Park the summer of 2020. We start from Roads End and go over Granite Pass, down to Middle Fork of Kings River and up to the JMT at Palisade Creek. We follow the JMT up the Golden Staircase and over Mather and Pinchot Pass, down Woods Creek and over Rae Lakes and Glen Pass, to exit down Bubbs Creek back to Roads End again. Finishing with half of the Rae Lakes Loop. A stunning trip in amazing conditions with scenery as beautiful as any you will ever see. Truly a journey through the range of light.
