Getting Out: A special journey on the John Muir Trail

The John Muir Trail is surely the most famous and the most beautiful wilderness path in the lower 48 states. Beginning at an elevation of 4,000 feet in Yosemite Valley, the trail follows the crest of the Sierra Nevada for 221 miles over eleven mountain passes to the summit of Mt. Whitney, at 14,495 feet, the highest point in the United States outside of Alaska.

It is the featured recipe this week, and with a little adaptation from how it is commonly made, is quite easy to replicate at home.
