Hi, I wrote up a trip report about my hike of the JMT from Rush Creek to Mount Whitney a couple of weeks ago. Enjoy!

Still reading through it all but just wanted to say you took great photos! Loving the 1000 Island area ones. Thanks for sharing!

Nice write-up and nice pics. Tx.

Wow! Great report and beautiful pictures.

I'm not a botanist either, but I think the flowers in your picture from Day 1 are Mountain Heather.

Thanks for taking the time to do the write up!

Oh yeah, looks like that's what they are. Thanks!

Thank your for this nice trip report. Beautiful pictures, interesting writing and I liked your thoughts at the end.
Also congratulations to what you've achieved in the 7 days. I couldn't do half of that.

Amazing miles per day--simply amazing. And you had time to stop shoot the flowers and peaks. Really nice report.
