WMC Dan Smith Hike Ratings
Overview
Dan Smith has re-worked and updated the data from the Dale Green and Kip Yost hike ratings tables and has compiled the data into various PDF files for easy viewing. More computer savvy users may want to download the data in the Excel 2007 format for viewing. Also provided are KML and GPX files for download.
KMZ files work in Google earth and will allow the user to view the route (use the New Project button to import the KMZ file).
GPX files can be viewed in various software (Garmin Basecamp (free)) and then uploaded to various GPS devices.
