Jeremy Evans has been an avid backpacker and camper since he was twelve years of age. Obsessed with being outdoors in nature, he spends an average seventy nights in a tent, each year. He’s read nearly all of John Muir’s books and considers Muir one of the most essential and influential individuals of nature and conservation. After hiking virtually every trail in the Sierra Nevada High Country as well as the majority of the John Muir Trail in segments, he decided to solo hike the trail in its entirety, in honor of Muir. He documented the trip in detail so that others could have the opportunity to appreciate the vast beauty and grandeur that the trail has to offer.
