Thanks for posting it. I enjoy all of these types of journals - a way for me to live vicariously 'on the trail' while I'm at work! I will be hiking the trail starting Sept2, 2010. I hope to do it at about the pace you did. It seems reasonable, but I realize it is physically demanding. Thanks again for a great journal and I'll look forward to other journals of yours.

You are actually the 3rd person answering my same question about the weather. One guy said temp is ~60 degrees - maybe, he meant at lower altitude. A few days ago, the second guy said I need a 20-degree sleeping bag to sustain the cold temp overnight. I think I'll prepare for the 10,000ft-level temp then because I heard bears are usually between 3000-7000ft level. I have little experience backpacking in the U.S. (started in 2009); never been at JMT before, and I am kind of aging too now (mid 50s already) for this upcoming trip but I bet I will enjoy it. -Albert Thank you for the info Kevin!

The temperature will depend on what altitude you decide to camp. In that section you mentioned (which is very beautiful by the way) I camped mostly below 10,000 feet, most nights were between 32 and 40 degrees. Not really that windy at this altitude because you'll most likely be surrounded by trees. I hope this helps. Let me know if you have other questions. Hi Albert.

I am also a SoCal guy. Plan a one-week solo trip on JMT -- section Tuolume toward Reds Meadow -- in coming late July. Maybe, you can answer a question for me: what is the temp at night on those mountains? (I assume it's windy.) Regards, -Albert Hi Kevin,

If so, I'd love to hear from you. We will be passing through the Los Angeles area a couple of times in the next months and thought we might cross paths if that is where you are? How was the rest of the hike. We had an amazing time and you can check out our travel blog on travelpod. Anyway, if this is the guy we met, get in touch, if not, enjoy. Much Respect, Mark Schieber Hey Kevin,
