Map sold as advertised and delivered on time. Map sufficiently detailed to give you the overview of the area. Still need more detail from other sources to feel comfortable using a a sole document for back country backpacking.
The only reason you would buy trail map is for backpacking or hiking options. I was very disappointed with this map. I bought this map for Rae Lakes Loop trail and it simply add no value in my planning. No camp sites or no details on trail. Rae Lakes is a tiny little section of whole map and treated as standard day hikes. I do understand Sierra is big and hard to cover in one map but Ray Lakes Loop is 100% part of Kings Canyon and I was expecting more details on NP trails. They do have good map for JMT and PCT section of these national parks but I rather buy PCT/JMT maps for that.If you are looking for 1 map for both of these NPs for overview, this is for you. If you are looking for backpacking, you may need additional sources. If you are looking for Rae Lakes Loop map, don't buy this. It's waste of money. No camp sites or location details on this map. Rather than that - buy this map - http://www..com/The-Kearsage-Pass-Mpa-Harrison/dp/0991578449
As usual with NatGeo maps of national parks, this one covers the field pretty well, both roads and trails, as well as the scenic waypoints and navigational touchstones. There is nothing better for Sequoia and Kings Canyon as far as I know.As with other maps in this series, however, they are very large and not always as easy as they could be to find one's way on the right trail due to its favoring of terrain color coding rather than trail and road color cording.It's nice that the map is water-resistant, though I hope it still can go in the recycling when the time comes.
Strongly support other reviewers about this map - not as detailed as other maps BUT all on one page which is a must, and enough to get you around. I always have several map sources that I use to mark up one map, so this is my marked up one due to its one page design and lightweight. Already had the Harrison JMT's so I used those for that part of the #BigSekiLoop trail.
Not detailed enough for what I needed it for. I could have downloaded and printed this type of map out for free from any handfull of places. But its printed on nice paper and I don't mind supporting National Geographic. And its still a good idea to have paper maps in places where you're not always going to get a signal...
I usually buy Tom Harrison maps but decided this out due to the reviews. Great overview of the park and a lot of the popular trails are marked. I've been backpacking in the area, but I'm about to take the wife on a weekend trip to see the Sequoias and wanted a good map to take. This map shows all the popular trail and ranger stations. It even details some of the lodges in the area and ranger stations. If I was going on a serious hike though I'd want a little more detail. I believe there are separate maps for the Mineral King area and Kings Canyon with more detail. I just like maps for a nice overall view and I normally carry a GPS to stay on trail during winter months.
I have always used the Tom Harrison map series but after looking at the National Geographic Maps I really do like them. They are a little on the heavy side if you are a backpacker, but for a reference map I think they are really great.
Decent enough for general planning, but the Datum is NADS 27and the the scale is 1:80,000. For route planning find a map more specific to your hike. Still, if you are planning a trip or hike this area frequently, the Trails Illustrated version will give you a good topographical and geographical context your hike.
