Edit 2: I had deleted all the references I could on the Grand Tour. But then I realized that I've posted detailed trip reports and blogs about every one of these areas. Over the past two years I've only seen references twice about visiting any of these areas (on nwhikers) due to my information. Therefore, I've made all the Grand Tour videos public; my site visitation only spikes due to gear blogs, or something like the 6 volcano orbits.
I've collected video from these excursions over the past 4 years. If one wants to see what travel is like for these cross country sections, I provide plenty of examples from helmet, chest or shoulder and hand held capture points; this alone would discourage the casual hiker. The Grand Tour segments also include narration and photos, along with very general map references. If one were to do this whole tour in one shot, it entails 150 miles of foot travel and 50,000 feet of elevaiton. They are all available for viewing here:
