Extensive field scouting and research went into designing this map. The result is an accurate and up-to-date trail map packed with information. Several trails are published here for the first time. Historical routes are also shown.

• Two maps cover 9 USGS quads each. Each Map offers ideal coverage of the towns and nearby famous passes and mountain ranges. This combination of coverage makes for a good value.
• Shading tints and contours enhance elevation cues and organize complex terrain.
• Backcountry Ski Huts.
• Trail rating symbols. Trails rated “difficult”, “moderate”, and “easy” allowing people to plan the difficulty of their outing. Key roads are also rated for road biking and mountain biking.
• Singletrack symbols for mountain biking.
• Trail descriptions including directions, trail lengths, elevation gains, noteworthy features and more.
• Historic routes shown for reference.
• Ideal contour levels (80 feet) set to improve visualization of terrain forms and maximize elevation information. Additional key spot elements provided for reference.
• Careful mapping and graphic stressing of natural hydrography to improve comprehension of the terrain forms. Numerous waterfalls and cascades published here for the first time.
• Full UTM grid for easy use with GPS receivers., Trails indexed to UTM grid.
• Printed on waterproof, tear-tough material for years of hands-on use.
