Embark on an adventure along the historic John Muir Trail through California's High Sierras. Discover majestic mountains, lush meadows, picturesque waterfalls, and serene alpine lakes. Conquer Yosemite's iconic Half Dome or Sequoia's Mt. Whitney! Wander through Evolution Valley or Tuolumne Meadows, take in the beauty of Thousand Islands Lake, or cool your feet in the Kings River. Marvel at ancient Sequoias, catch (and release) a Golden Trout, listen to the Ouzel's song, watch playful Marmots, or spot the rare Snow Plant. Happy trails!

You'll encounter daily trail events, choose exploration destinations, manage natural and personal resources, and adapt to changing weather. Move along the trail while using your backpack items wisely to enhance your experience. Earn trail points by placing workers on tracks, collecting field guide cards, scoring with destination cards, and efficiently using your backpack gear.
