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!
