A Visitor 2019-04-28

As I was out this morning gathering information on another hike and some movement caught my eye. I wondered over and it was a lizard. Not just any lizard mind you, this sucker was at least 18 inches long, head-to-tail. I've seen plenty of lizards in my time, but I have never seen one this large.



Happy Hiking

We're Working On Them - and Thanks!

We have many guides and are working diligently to publish them. Between re-hiking all our best hikes, taking pictures, making sure the GPS markings are good, and then publishing, it takes a fair amount of time. Also, we've received hikes from a couple people, so they're in the pipeline now. 



The pic above is on one of the many hikes we're publishing. We're happy to receive your great hikes. If we like them we'll publish them for you and you'll make $$.


Thanks everyone.

What We Do

Peterson's Hiking Guides


Hiking guides for areas you want to hike.  Take your passion to a new level and bring one of our Guides with you on your portable device.  Complete downloadable GPS KMZ trail files with way-points to guide your every step.  Easy to load on either your GPS or phone.


The guides contain pictures to show you where you should be including way-points on many of the pictures to give you the confidence of your location.


No need to buy bulky books or write down the trail info on paper, or tear out the pages.  With the convenience of a single hike laid out electronically on your device all you need to do is check your device and enjoy the hike.



We always recommend you carry a GPS with you for those just in case moments. Most of the trails we publish are well-marked trails. Each guide will let you know the level of difficulty and whether or not if a GPS or map is mandatory.


For all trails, we provide GPS tracks and way-points. It's up to you to determine your own abilities. Each person is different. We produce our guides to help eliminate some of the guesswork.




Welcome - The Great Outdoors

This is a new site dedicated to the great outdoors and those who love it. We are blogging about being outside and enjoying everything there is to see and enjoy around us.  To take advantage of the visions, the scenery, the places, and travels. 


Part of this dedication is also to the new Peterson's Hiking Guides. Not books strewn with multiple destinations or puffery, just trails. You will find within the guides trail GPS downloads, way-points, and loads of pictures. Each guide will feature a single, or maybe at times, a couple trails for your use.


All you need to do is go to a major online book retailer, everywhere, and download a guide of your preference.  You will be able to download the GPS trails to your phone or GPS and take off.


Many of our guides are nearly ready to be published, so keep an eye out.  The following graphic is a rendition of the cover.
