About the John Muir Trail: The John Muir Trail, or JMT, is revered as one of the most pristine and beautiful trails in the world. The 210.5 mile trail makes its way through the heart of the Sierra Nevada Range in Central California. Much of the trail is above 10,000 feet elevation and is quite steep, making this a rather difficult trail. Most hikers hike the JMT southbound, beginning at Happy Isles in Yosemite National Park, and ending at the summit of the highest peak in the "lower 48" -- Mt. Whitney. It takes about 2-3 weeks to hike the entire trail (some hikers are faster, some are slower). Many hikers complete the entire trail in one go, and countless others enjoy hiking a few miles along the trail via the many remote side trails that branch off the JMT.

Questions & Answers

Q: What is an APK File?

A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.

Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?

A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.

Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?

A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.

Q: What are Android App permissions?

A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.

Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

5 ★Guthook is the thru hikers choice.
5 ★Great app & great support!
5 ★Great app
5 ★Invaluable!
5 ★For knowing how long until next water, campsite, etc. This said, one should not rely on it exclusively, and many of Guthook's campsites are overused or out of compliance with FS regulations. Make sure you know what you're doing out there!
2 ★I had it working in offline mode at home before the trip. Guide looked great with campsites and water indicated on the trail. Then as I got close to Yosemite the map guide stopped loading and at best was a basic GPS device. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, shutting phone off and on. It's much too buggy to rely on and a waste of $10
3 ★Facebook test post fails and crashes app. Also app optimization on my s6 edge plus flags this app as using a huge amount of battery and resources and to uninstall.
5 ★In July 2015 I hiked the JMT with my son. I purchased the app when we arrived at Reds Meadow. I noticed a fellow backpacker looking at his map on his phone......huh? Hmmm. Nice!! It was awesome! Absolutely worth the price. Worked flawlessly all the way to Whitney! I will DEFINITELY purchase the updated version as soon as I have planned our next JMT thru hike! Mike+Mike on the JMT!!
5 ★Very helpful on the trail!
5 ★Trail map for use on your cell phone. Using a solar charging system, I kept my phone charged so I could use this guide. It is very accurate. The only time we had a problem was when the guide said there was water at mile 200 near the camp site. We had to go an additional 4 miles to find a good water source near a camp site which was at Crabtree Meadows. Or go back about 2 miles to a large creek. It appeared that there was water at mile 200 previously. This is a great app to use while hiking the JMT.
4 ★Was quite useful on my recent JMT hike. One major bug was irritating: There was no way to switch between topo and satellite maps, and sometimes on the same scene one panel would be topo and one adjacent panel satellite. Irritating. Would like to be able to add campsites, bear sitings and comments without logging in, to be uploaded when I got back home. I would like to be able to view selected points on the altitude graph, instead of only my current position.
5 ★Used this app the whole way on the JMT. It was awesome!
