"After tooling up a team of hikers with an impressive camera tripod and unleashing them on the likes of the Grand Canyon and Yellowstone Park, Nature Valley has published its fully rotational Trail Views online. You'll be able to effortlessly follow several routes across the great American countryside and for those too lazy to even click the forward arrow, there's an autoplay mode.

Very cool. I hope to do a bunch of panos and point-to-point time-lapse footage of my hike this year. It won't be this robust, but I still hope it will be cool.

I can imagine a day when all trails will be covered like this -- Google Earth 3.0 (The Complete Edition)! I wonder if this will inspire more to hike, or make them content to stay at home? TBD.
