Thinking of hiking the John Muir Trail? Did you know that once you're south of Donahue Pass, the average elevation of the Trail is over 10,000 feet?<br />
<br />
Are you familiar with high-altitude illness? Do you know the symptoms? Do you know what you should and shouldn't do?<br />
<br />
This guideline provides basic information about the illnesses triggered by the reduced oxygen content of the air at higher elevations and provides recommendations for how to avoid high-altitude illness.<br />
