Mist Trailhead via John Muir Trail and Clouds Rest Trail(edit)

My 3rd trip with the Adventure Running Co tribe. Body beaten but not defeated. Mind blown. Spirit soaring. Soul satisfying. Yosemite National Park, CA-28Jun-02Jul2021. ARC Does Yosemite. 5 Days/94-miles/16700-feet of Elevation Gain "As soon as I saw you, I knew a grand adventure was about to happen.”~Winnie the Pooh “A lot of people say I don’t feel fear, or that I don’t fear death, but that’s just not true. I just have more of an acceptance that I will die at some point. I understand that, but I don’t want to baby myself along the way. I want to live in a certain way, which requires taking a higher degree of risk, and that’s acceptable to me.”~Free Solo Climber, Alex “No Big Deal” Honnold #epiciswhatepicdoes #iRunhere #dropthemicrunning #livingvicariouslythrumyself #realitybites Yosemite has long been on my Bucket List. To finally visit there is gratifying. To accomplish the tour as a trail runner - mind-blowing. Spending 35-hours running/power-hiking park trails enabled us to take in an incredible amount of awe-inspiring, photogenic vistas. Many challenges on this adventure. When all is said and done, the fondest memories remain. Bad news-my right ankle gave out at about mile-8 of the last day. Diagnosis-moderate/severe lower ankle sprain. Good news-It happened with only 5-miles remaining in a 5-day period that totaled 94-miles. COMPOSITE TOTALS= 94 Miles/17000’/MILES RUN=70?

Scout Troop 797 from Marietta, GA completed a 5 day-4 night trip from Tuolumne Meadows to Happy Isles (7/15/18 - 7/19/18). Great experience even with the fire/smoke we experienced!
