Vicki and I went on a four day backpacking trek in the Sierra Nevada, hiking north on the Pacific Crest Trail from Devils Postpile to Thousand Island Lake, followed by hiking south on the John Muir Trail back to Devils Postpile. This loop is one of the places where the PCT diverges from the JMT, and we wanted to experience both of them. Which trail section was better? Well, that’s hard to say. Read on, and you can come to your own conclusions.
Day1 PCT Agnew Meadows to Badger Lakes 
Day2 JMT Thousand Island Lake to Shadow Creek 
Day3 JMT Shadow Lake to Minaret Creek 
Day4 PCT Devils Postpile to Agnew Meadow 
Day5 Reds Meadow and Devils Postpile
