Hiking Florida? _ and a Photo of the Day

Hiking Florida? Really? OK, never really thought about it. I've been there. It's flat. Great place to ride my bicycle. Great place to find a beach. Or go fishing. But never considered it as a hiking destination because I think of mountains when I wander by foot.

To each his own, of course, and there are indeed plenty of places to hike in Florida, so today we feature a story about two people who have documented the best hikes in the Sunshine State, including something they called the "Big O Hike." Click here to learn more.

Also, the new Photo Gallery on the website is such a big hit that we'll periodically feature a "Photo of the Day" here on the blog. The one on the right is a great shot taken by my friend Doug Donnell while we were hiking with a group to the Lotschenpass hut in in Switzerland in 2006. We look so tiny, and the glacier looks so big and forboding. (Spoiler: It was easy to cross and not as big as it might appear in the photograph, but it was still an awesome place to be.)

Be sure to join us on our hiking vacation to Switzerland in 2014.

See you on the trails.
