This isn't the first time Taylor has gracefully tottered backwards to avoid being snapped by waiting paps - but at least that time she only had to negotiate a few steps and then hurl herself into a waiting car... this was an entire hike. Down a hill. 

Taylor posted the below pic to her Tumblr, along with the following explanation as to why she did it - and it wasn't so she could potentially put a claim in on her $40million leg insurance policy given the precarious nature of hiking backwards down a hill...

Taylor said: "I saw the guy with the camera and wasn't in the mood so I hiked the whole trail backwards and my security told me when to make turns... 'Ah, the tranquility of the great outdoo-TAYLORCANYOULOOKOVERHEREGIVEUSASMILEAREYOUDAT.'"

Is it me, or does that security guard have a bit of an "Ah for Jaysis sake, I didn't sign up for this crap" look on his face?
