For all these reasons the JMT hiker is strongly recommended to walk the Trail north to south, from Yosemite to Whitney. This is the direction described in this guidebook.

Shorter Routes Include:

 JMT from Yosemite Valley to Tuolumne, including the ascent of Half Dome. 3 days. There is a seasonal bus from Tuolumne Meadows back to Yosemite Valley at the end of this short but spectacular hike.

 JMT from Yosemite or Tuolumne Meadows to Reds Meadow, including Lyell Valley and the Devil’s Postpile. 6½ or 3½ days. A seasonal shuttle bus can be used to exit the trail to the town of Mammoth Lakes at the end of this trek.

 JMT from Yosemite or Tuolumne Meadows or Reds Meadow to Vermilion Valley Resort. 2½, 6 or 9 days.

 JMT from Yosemite or Tuolumne Meadows or Reds Meadow or Vermilion resort to Muir Trail ranch. 2, 4½, 8 or 11 days. From Muir Trail Ranch there is a seasonal ferry across Florence Lake (or hike around it) to a roadhead. Hikers would then have to hitch a lift back to civilisation.
