Trails Illustrated Trails Illustrated Intermountain West Maps
From the mysterious slot canyons of Utah’s Escalante to the jagged peaks of the Tetons to the sweeping valleys and rivers of Yellowstone, the National Geographic Trails Illustrated Intermountain West Maps give you up-to-date and detailed topography of some of America’s greatest natural treasures. These waterproof, tear-resistant maps show hiking trails, campgrounds, and points of interest, as well as wilderness tips and Leave No Trace guidelines.
Bottom Line: Don’t leave the trailhead without one.
I bought a map for the San Rafael Swell and it worked awesome for planning some day hikes from our camp site. It also didn't fall apart after I spilled beer all over it!
I don't go to any National Park without a National Geographic map of the area. The maps are very descriptive and provide great information, whether you are day hiking, car touristing, or hitting up the backcountry.
I spent my summers off from ski-bumming working and traveling around the West and have picked up an NGS Trails map for each of the spots that I knew I'd be staying for awhile. Glacier, Teton, Yellowstone, Escalante, Zion, Canyonlands, etc. Super accurate topo and vegetation outlines make it easy to sort out where to hike and where to sleep. You can use your compass or even a GPS to navigate with these, no problemo. Lat-long info, compass directions (showing declination), and different grid projections are all printed in an uncluttered way. The maps are made of a tough plastic material that won't tear or get goofed up by rain/coffee/whiskey. I have used them to route-find off the main trails and spent hours and hours staring into them getting stoked for new adventures. These things are addictive!
