You know, for an organization based on geography, Nat Geo makes some really lousy hiking maps. This is my third Nat Geo map (the maps aren't easily readable, but they have them for many locations), and my third disappointment.The map is printed on a plastic sheet, which is nice - you don't have to worry about water damage - and the print quality is very good. It has the makings of greatness, and yet the design & layout totally torpedo it.Nat Geo maps don't have trail mileage printed on the trails - instead you have to look it up in the WAY oversized legend that takes up a huge chunk of what could otherwise be additional useful map space (even if it's covering an area outside the park, it's still nice to be able to see nearby roads & such). The table of mileages is also cluttered with unhelpful information like approximate hiking time - I get that that could be helpful for novice hikers, but I feel like most people looking at back country maps have an idea of their pace and want to see straight up mileage and elevation. If you want to skip the mileage table and just measure the distance correctly, you can't because the map is in some stupid scale like 0.42":1.0 mi. I don't want to bring a calculator into the canyons and I don't want to be looking at the 1/8" marks on my compass ruler trying to think what 4.625"/0.42 is. The hikeable area of Zion includes a bunch of different classifications of land (the main park, wilderness, private rangeland, etc) but these are differentiated by a confusing set of very-similar zonal borders that often overlap and are difficult to discern.
