tarolI own many of these maps

Voted 5/5

I own the one for Sequoia & Kings Canyon, for the Canyons of the Escalante, and the one for Grand Canyon. Probably more than that, actually, but those are the ones that I know I have. They are great maps for planning your trips and also to take along with you to keep you on track. Not quite as detailed as a USGS topo but sufficient in many cases, especially if you're sticking to a trail.

Bill ReedI love maps!

Voted 5/5

These are very good ones. One thing I like best is that they're easy to carry and stand up well to repeated use. At this point I have 11, from RMNP to North Cascades. They really come in handy when your travels cover an area that would require several topos. Detail, as Sequoia pointed out, is lacking compared to the USGS topos.

"I am in love with this world. I have nestled lovingly in it. I have climbed its mountains, roamed its forests, sailed its waters, crossed its deserts, felt the sting of its frosts, the oppression of its heats, the drench of its rains, the fury of its winds, and always have beauty and joy waited upon my goings and comings."   --John Burroughs
