Rocky Mountain National Park (National Geographic Trails Illustrated Map) | Books

This is a very useful book if you plan to spend time in RMNP.

I've always loved Trails Illustrated maps for their topographical lines, accuracy and good detail and this one is no different. Their maps stand out because they are foldable, but they have that coating that makes them more durable than regular paper maps and if they get water on them they're not ruined. There are a ton of trails in Rocky Mountain National Park and many of them dissect each other so it's important to have an accurate map that shows all the trail characteristics and scale of distances. Great map!

Great detailed plastic map. I have hiked many trails in RMNP and I wished I would have had this map. I love it and gave it to my grandson for this past Christmas. Stick in your pack and take it along as a guide no mater if it rains a bucket. Use it for planning your trips. It will get you to anywhere in the park if you are physically up to it.

Always good to have a real map as a backup. Sometimes way out in the boonies you have no signal and a real map is your best friend.

It's a good topo map but a little impractical due to its size to take on hikes. If you will just be day hiking - you probably don't need to bring it. Try looking at a 3 x 3 map on top of a mountain in a 15 to 20 mile per hour wind. When you are on a day hike you don't need a map of the whole park - you only need a map of the area you are actually hiking in. For this I used a paperback hiking book which contained "zoomed in" views of the area I was hiking in. These views contained the trailhead I was leaving from and then usually a good 10 or 15 miles of what was to come. I got 7 miles away from the car and that took 15 hours - round trip. In other words, it would be difficult to walk off the smaller maps in a day. The free maps at the Visitor's Center work well too. The free 8 x 10 inch map on typing paper is just a few inches by a few inches on this topo. So you are getting a much better/larger view. The topo map worked great, however, back in the hotel room when planning the next day's hike. If you will just be casually hiking - you probably don't need it. The trails within 10 to 15 miles of the car are wide, very well worn and very well marked. If you are going backcountry then you already know what you need. For that, I would take this map, a good compass, and a Garmin Montana 650T.

This is a VERY detailed and accurate trail map. Each trail section is marked with mileage. The name and location of each back country campsite and other amenities are clearly marked. It came in extremely handy for planning a trip to RMNP this coming August(2013). It's almost as though you're right there in the park. When I called for back country campsite reservations the Ranger was impressed with my knowledge of the area where I reserved considering I had never been there. When I told him I got the info from the Nat. Geo. map he immediately said "That's one of the best maps of the park there is." It's also very sturdy and has a water repelling coating to help it last longer. Looking forward to the trip and taking this map with me.

This was laminated correctly. The map was the correct size and easy to use.

I ordered this for our recent vacation in Rocky Mountain National Park. We spent a week out there and did a few day hikes. We used the heck out of this map to help decide which trails we wanted to hike, and to figure out how to get to them. We also used various books for input on trail ratings and descriptions, but this map gives you the whole picture of where the trails are and what the terrain is like. While we were on the trail, this map was very useful in helping us figure out where we were at any given time. I wouldn't hit the trail without this in my pack.

Must to have if you are going to visit the Rockies! National Geographic's products are always the best! Buy it!

Se anuncia la revisión de 2012 pero llega la de 2008. De hecho las imágenes en la web no se corresponden con el producto recibido y en éstas el mapa corresponde a una edición con copyright de 2019

ロッキーマウンテン国立公園に行って、トレイルをいくつか回りまし。計画を立てるとき、実際にトレイルを歩くときにとても参考になりました。防水性もあり、使い易いことも利点です。
