Sapphire Lake to Kings River/Mather Pass junction over Muir Pass
Mileage: 14.6 miles (23.5 km), total 144.8 miles (233.0 km)
Today was an awesome day as we climbed our first big pass of the southern end of the JMT. The day began with our campsite at Sapphire Lake which was an awesome spot as the sun came up. The sun reflected off the water and it was a beautiful place to be as we started our day’s hike.
