Map is Great! Product Description is Wrong though and many areas listed are not on it!
Map is actually great! 5 Stars for a great map in usual NatGeo quality. 2 stars though for junky product description. The description says this includes Havasu Falls, Mt. Trumbull Wilderness, Joshua Forest Wilderness and the Indian Reservations west of GC National Park. This map includes none of those! The areas covered are strictly the area around the National Park. I bought this for my trip to Havasu Falls, but they're not on this map. This map is #261, and I guess I need #262. Me, not being an expert in Nat Geo's trail maps, relied on Amazon for an accurate product description and am really disappointed I didn't get one. And, on the east coast, trail maps of Arizona aren't something one just picks up at the outdoors stores. Now, I have to order the right map and wait for that to come. Thanks for wasting my time Amazon with your POS description!
I really love nat geo's trail maps
I really love nat geo's trail maps, this things can hold up really well. I had a stack of them out on this last trip through the southwest. Its not mine if I haven't spilled coffee on it yet apparently well knocked a cup over right on the maps at first I freaked out but after a quick trying and leaving in the sun the maps weren't even phased. As for the map itself, I carry them on all my hikes and haven't been disappointed when i have to use them on the trails. Another thing I use them for is planning my photography shots, it gives me a bigger picture of everything so I know what the terrain looks like, what direction each "viewpoint" is before I ever get to the parks
Can't go wrong with these maps.
I have many, many of these maps and bought this one to replace a years and years old much used map. The new map feels just as thick and sturdy as the last one. This paper is waterproof and easily folds back up. The colors are vibrant and trails easily discerned on this map.
Individually a good map but adjacent maps don't match scale!
Bought 261 & then bought adjacent 262. The scales are 3x different! So can't easily match up when you go from one to the next. Who does something like that?!?! Nat Geo apparently.
Doesn't have Rainbow Rim Area
Was looking for the Rainbow rim trail and surrounding area just outside the north GC. The part I needed to see on the map was covered with the map key. :-(
accurate, reliable map
Reliable, weatherproof, accurate map for the central core of the park. Easy to carry and holds up to repeated use. A sidebar indicating basic geologic cross-sections as in other guides/maps would be very useful as a quick reference while going up and down through the layers.
Map scale is wrong!!!
All National Geographic Maps of this type, are not 1:50,000. They are in fact 1:70,000 scaled!!
Great reference with many cartographic details to serve multiple purposes.
Great map, printed on durable paper. I brought it in my pack for my rim to rim hike and it held up perfectly in case I needed it.
Complete coverage
This map looks like all I'll need. It covers all the spots I wanted to do and has mileages. Only, I haven't actually been to the park yet so can't vouch for the accuracy of the map.
Easy to read with information specific to this park
So helpful. Easy to read. When applying for a backcountry permit, you'll need the area Codes that are clearly labeled on this map.
