THIS site was created for the disabled and busy folks
who may never have the chance to see these places otherwise,
as well as for those that do hike and want ideas of where to go.  
 www.GoVirtualHike.com is a site for everyone

HIKING albums are listed in date order - with the most current date at the top.  The time of year, weather conditions, and people on the hike, make each album very unique.  Pick a location... VIEW a slideshow - and reading the captions will transport you to that place and moment in time. 

PICK A HIKE BY SEASON - OCTOBER-DECEMBER 2008

BEHIND THE SCENES ...   Many areas you hike have group size limits , which you need to be aware of.  All groups shown in the Virtual albums may appear to hike together, when in fact they do not.  *sorry, photographer editing illusion*  Groups are broken down into Fast-Medium-and-Slower hikers, with designated regrouping points along the way for safety purposes.  Educate yourself on the rules directly with the US Forest Service and National Park Service.  Don't assume - Get the facts first.
