MTR is an incredible oasis along the JMT. The accommodations are comparatively total luxury for those needing a zero, or JMT day hikers like myself. The communal food was incredible, Kay and crew were amazing, and sharing stories is the refuel you didn’t know you needed. Hearty dinners with fresh greens (we had chicken and mushrooms, mashed potatoes, burgers, lasagna). Hot breakfast with fresh fruit and you can make a sandwich for the trail. Finally, the combination of a bed, hot shower and soak in a hot spring is what makes this splurge worth it. It’s not cheap to stay at because it’s not cheap to operate, but it’s worth every penny. The staff is great too, you work here because you love it here. Ranch Life!
