These pictures are way too small.

I agree with Mike. The images are way too small to view.

the "blue mountain" picture looks like the area around Lehigh Gap. That's my stomping ground. Those grasses are starting to come in nicely thanks to the Lehigh Gap Nature Center!

Just thru-hike the AT and these pictures are no good and do not give justice to the AT, come up with a new gallery! Your the "Backpacker Magazine" live up to it editors!
