Here's a video I made during the Circle of Solitude at the end of July. As I did it, it's approximately an 85 mile loop that goes through the Inyo National Forest, Kings Canyon, and Sequoia National Parks. It contains pieces of the Rae Lakes Loop, the John Muir Trail, and the High Sierra Trail, connecting them with a trip over the seldom visited Colby Pass. Some amazing terrain all the way through!
To make it even more fun, I took my hammock. While it limited me somewhat as to where I could camp, it made it oh so much better each night!!!
This is the first time I've ever tried to make a video during a trip. The production quality is pretty low, but that helps to keep the adventure quality high.
Basic Itinerary -
Day 1 - Onion Valley to Flower Lake (short day, just to get started)

Hope you enjoy. Let me know if you have any questions about the route.
