One of my favorite ways to relax, is to grab my camera and head out for a hike with my husband and my dogs. I have three very active dogs, so this is something they really enjoy. We've hiked at Lehigh Gorge, Hickory Run, Hawk Mountain (without dogs at this particular location), and a few other amazing trails.

Because this is something I enjoy, I spend a lot of time reading about hiking and/or photography. In doing so, I ran across some beautiful panoramic shots on the Backpacker website.

If you get a moment, please scroll through some of the galleries. What you can experience and capture with your camera in a few moments outdoors can truly be amazing. Enjoy!
