Appreciation post: A hiker in Yosemite changed my mind about the JMT

I was set on doing the full John Muir Trail next summer, but a guy at the backpackers' camp said he preferred the High Sierra Trail because it's less crowded and has better views of the Great Western Divide. Now I'm looking at permits for that instead. Has anyone here done both and can compare the resupply points?

That guy at the backpackers' camp just cost you about three months of permit planning, huh? Andrew_kelly, the resupply is way easier on the JMT, but you'll see maybe five people total on the High Sierra Trail.

Wow, how did the resupply logistics compare between the two trails?
