John Muir Trail - Day 3 - Rock Creek to Guitar Lake

     
Stayed Above Guitar Lake  
Travel Walking 20.58 km, 7:52 hours, 1,036 meters up, 614 meters down

Today was about getting to Guitar Lake so summiting Mt Whitney would be easier. The trail was very pretty and we started to see more people as we are at the common starting point for the JMT. In fact we met the trail family that we would eventually join.

We camped at the tarn above Guitar Lake with some very cute marmots.

After a lot of debate, we decided not to do a sunrise summit, but go very early.
