Ever notice that when most people go hiking, they’re always looking down? Hiking is an amazing pastime, but we’re often so concerned about tripping over a branch, slipping in a puddle, or stepping on an woodland animal, that we forget the best part of the trip – the view. So, in honor of National Take a Hike Day, we trudged through our collection of royalty-free images for some of the coolest hiking spots across the U.S.
Each image used in this post is royalty-free and available for downloading.
