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.
