A New Look _ and New Adventures for 2014 _ from My Hiking Vacations

Times change fast in the online world. A website that looked so fresh and exciting in 2008 can appear so dated just five years later.

Here at My Hiking Vacations, we like to think we can keep up. We've put the same energy we use for hiking into a redesign of our website, and today we are happy to announce its relaunch.

So take a gander at MyHikingVacations.com. You'll see more than just new colors and photos _ you'll also see our just-released list of hiking/walking trips for 2014.

Check out Vegas/Nevada in May.

And Vermont in June.

And Switzerland in July.

And the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia in October.

Vegas? Vermont? Virginia? Yeah, we're stuck on Vs next year. Maybe the Switzerland trip should include a stop at Vers-chez-le-Blanc.

We'll also have more to blog about in the coming weeks. We just returned from a hiking trip in New Hampshire, and recently I hiked in Austria for the first time. (OK, it was only for a few hours, but it was snowy and beautiful.)

See you on the trails.
