Grand Teton National Park (National Geographic Trails Illustrated Map) Map – Folded Map, January 1, 2008 $10.65 and Yellowstone National Park (National Geographic Trails Illustrated Map) Map – Folded Map, January 1, 2012 $10.65Save the content these maps are identical in size each being 25” x 37” YPK scale is 1:16,720 1 inch = 2 mi. with 100’ contour level. GTNP scale is 1:80,000 1 inch = 1.3 mi 100’ contour level. These maps are printed on waterproof, tear-resistant paper.YPK is split in half (north / south) with a generous overlap. Robust legend includes trail summaries including length, elevation gain, hiking time and difficulty. Various other panels describe wildlife, thermal areas and backcountry hiking.GTNP has the entire area on one side (including Jackson Hole) the reverse is a detailed map of the east side of the park with a scale of 1 inch=.5 mi. from Granite Canyon to Leigh Lake.As mentioned elsewhere we are not of the hiking ilk, other than the short easy 1-2 hour jaunts to get away from the parking lots. In terms of general orientation, finding locations mentioned in other tomes, and getting around these are essential maps. In terms of a hiking guide with trailheads and enough detail to use in the field I fear these would be lacking. Used in combination with National Geographic Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks Road Guide: The Essential Guide for Motorists I plan them to use them as my principal navigation tools.
Trails Illustrated maps are the only map a hiker should ever purchase. I have these maps for national park I have ever hiked in and they have never let me down. Dry or wet makes no difference. Weather impervious.
These are great maps for the outdoorsman. They are large and easy to read, with great detail. Can be used by the off-roader, or the hiker, or even simply as a road map. The item is durable and water resistant. Highly recommended - I have several for different parts of the country.
The National Geographic maps are great for hiking and planning trips. Because Grand Teton is relatively small the section with some of the most popular hikes is 1:31,680. the rest is 1:80,000. One warning, though, is that National Geographic has released an updated version from the 2008. I needed it right away so ordered the 2008 version because the 2015 version was back-ordered. If you have the time, wait for the 2015 version.
Has the level of detail I need for the areas I'll be traveling too. Will be using GPS, but always nice to have back-up map and compass. If I were using this as my sole source of information I'd probably search out a more detailed map. Good quality print and materials that are rugged enough for the trail.
I was planning a backpacking trip through grand teton and this topo map had all the information I needed to plan my trip. As a bonus it was completely unaffected when I accidentally spilled a cup of coffee on the map. Simply wiped it off and it was a good as new...
I bought it for my trip across the US.Ok, I had my GPS, but we must always have a map on us.It is very useful, because your can find a lot of information where ever you are in the state.
The map is fairly easy to use. But, the legend is incomplete and the details provided along the routes are somewhat random.
