Trailhead
The John Muir Trail has enticed people to hike its majestic 211 miles for decades. This year, The Bee sent four reporter/photographer teams out to bring back the journey for our readers as best they could.
Using satellite phones, digital cameras, old-fashioned pencil and paper, and packs sometimes weighing 50 pounds, the journalists hiked the trail and brought us along. Their stories and photos brought to life a part of the country many people will never get to see.
