John:
Its beyond my computer skills to transfer a map here, if you want to go to say CalTopo or GMap 4, start at Glacier Point, south on the Panorama Trail until it turns east toward Illilouette Falls, there continue south to Buena Vista trail across Ilillouette Creek, continue south to Merced Pass Lakes, bang a left to Ottoway Lakes and continue to Red Peak Pass. From there Continue east above red Devil Lake, drop down into Merced Paek Fork of the Merced and triple Peak Fork of the Merced, bang a right up and over Isberg Pass, leaving the Park. Drop down to Isberg Lakes, then continue south southeast to the wilderness boundary near Cora Creek, make a hairpin left back north northeast to Hemlock Crossing on the North San J, hook another hairpin right go SSE again to Corral Meadow, left on the Mammoth Trail to Granite Stairway and drop into devils Post Pile, back trails to red's Meadow, being careful to step across, not on the JMT. Heading South from Red's past the corral, step across the JMT again and take the Rainbow Falls trail all the way down to Fish Creek and Island Cossing, sharp left up Fish Creek to Iva Bell, bear right on Minnow Creek trail to Lake of the Lone Indian and Papoose Lake, then climb S to Goodale Pass to VVR. From VVR, take the Bear Creek Cutoff at the S end of the VV Dam to Bear Creek, go east up the Creek to the JMT junction.
Reluctantly step on the JMT, finally and follow it South for two miles to Hilgard Branch/Lake Italy turnoff. From there follow the magical disappearing/reappearing "trail" east to Lake Italy, Jumble Lake and Italy Pass, then drop down to Pine Creek Trail, turn north and pound down to Pine Creek trailhead.
I posted aout 30 shots at the FB page "John Muir Trail", and will add some video in the next day or two.
