I've pencilled in a trip to the USA next year for some walking. The JMT looks very popular and difficult to get a permit for, it would be much easier to pick up a back-country permit and link up some of the lesser trails. You can use the JMT a bit like Taswegians use the Overland Track; hop on it for a shortish distance to get to where you want to go. The off track walking options look unreal, have a look at the Sierra High Route or the Kings Canyon High Basin Route to get some ideas of what is possible in that realm.
