Excellent details and video quality ❤

[@dmbeaster]

I believe that the Mist Trail is one way now going up only. You have to go down the John Muir trail from Clark Point. I think they did this because the trail is hazardous going down, and there are a lot of inexperienced people trying to go down slippery rocks.

Definitely looks like quite the epic hike, with some amazing scenery too!

[@metfish]

Done thus three times. The quality of your video is outstanding

[@danpayan9468]

I did that hike in 1977 just 15 yrs old one the best experiences of my life

[@JohannyM]
