Obviously our best hikes map of the world should be interactive in the way used by Modern Hiker in California:

This is a home-grown Google Map with hiking information in Los Angeles and Southern California. Every trail I’ve written up for the site is accompanied by a pin, color-coded by difficulty. Clicking on a pin will give you a thumbnail image and short description, and a link to the in-depth review.
This is a great way to get a visual idea of where these trails are in relation to you, and is a great resource for planning your next hiking trip.
