It's definitely worth it if you can get some extended time off - it was our honeymoon so employers couldn't say no to a month really :)
We were hiking from the 6th to the 21st with one zero day on the 11th. Our permit started in Tuolumne Meadows in Yosemite and headed out over Kearsarge Pass, which was about 3 days before the official end of the trail. Walking from about 8am to 4pm each day with about a 30 minute lunch break. The most I had in my pack was about 16kg including two litres of water - definitely too heavy but that also included 7 days of food from a resupply (although we ran out early...).
Weather-wise it was mainly hot and sunny, dropping to freezing overnight. Had a couple of minor snow / hail storms that were actually quite fun, although did cause some worry about ice over the higher passes (we crossed five that are above 11,000ft).
Some unsolicited pics attached as this gave me an excuse to look at them again...!

Looks amazing! Always wanted to do a "thru-hike"
How many days was it? Where did you start?
