Hiking

I want to build a site. An awesome site. One with lots of pretty trail pictures that you can navigate around and decide on your own damn trail to take (not something listed in a book). Oh, and dog information. This is sorely lacking on every other site. Speaking of other sites ('cuz I don't *really* want to take the time to build my own) trails.com sucks. I can't find anything and I never get clear maps of trails. Giving me the text from 5 different books on the trail doesn't help me figure out if it's 10 or 100 miles from where I live. Hikipedia shows promise http://www.hikipedia.com/ but doesn't have many (or any) early adopters of the site other than the creator.Go-california.com? No trails in the north half of the state. Not so good. Thebackpacker is better, but it's got a lot of flashy ads and no easy way to query the database.
