National Geographic Trail Maps – An essential tool for exploring America’s top National Parks
National Geographic’s line of Trails Illustrated maps includes detailed topographic trail maps for all of America’s top National Parks. Featuring updated and easy-to-read trail networks, important points of interest, and the key recreation information needed to make your next National Park visit an adventure.
National Geographic and the National Parks share a deep legacy dating back to the publication of an entire issue of National Geographic Magazine in 1916 titled 'Land of the Best'. That issue helped advocate for the creation of the National Park Service, later that year. Over the years, National Geographic has helped establish, preserve, or restore Sequoia, Katmai, Carlsbad Caverns, Shenandoah, Mesa Verde and Redwood National Parks. It has also publicized the parks through at least 500 books, articles, and maps, not to mention dozens of television documentaries.

I love this map series. They are my go-to maps for backpacking. They show campsites and shelters, which you usually have to scour the internet for. It shows trails and the distances--as well as the quality of the trail to some degree; for example, a black trail is well-maintained. A grey trail is THERE, technically, but isn't maintained by the park and might be obscure. I do wish the maps marked clear water sources (with, of course, the caveat that packers should always call the park to check on said source). Parking is clearly marked and if the portion of the part costs money to enter. It shows rock climbing areas. It shoes fishing areas.These are also waterproof. I'm glad I keep it with me when I hike; I've run into a few hikers here and there who are turned around and I can show them where they are and where to go. The map is so clear that, literally, in about 30 seconds, the hiker knows what direction to go and some marks to look for (like a lean-to or lake). I also use this map to start researching a trip. I just put out the map and look at the distances and presence of water or whatever. If you see an area, for example, with A LOT of parking, that area is probably more congested than you want. I'd recommend this map to anyone of any hiking level.

This map was a must-have item for our trip to Shenandoah. It was very detailed, which is super important when you’re hiking through the wilderness. I liked that it was waterproof and durable too.

This map is terrific. It has quite detailed information about Shenandoah, and also parts of George Washington National Forest and the surrounding areas. I was able to easily find the trails we've already hiked, and also scope out other trails for the future.The paper is also a very pleasant, smooth material that is apparently waterproof. (We still have to test that.)

Much sturdier and more detailed than the ones at the visitor center. Contour lines are very helpful in planning hikes. Only challenge with Shenandoah is that the park is so big that the scale is not as close up as one might like. Zooming in further would result in an unwieldy map unless it only covered the park and not the surrounding area.

Godd map for purposes of driving and survey of where to hike. Need more detailed map for route finding and elevation changes while hiking.

As always I've never had any issues with the Nat Geo maps. I'm never afraid to be a little rough on them compared to normal paper maps

My friend and I decided to spend 2 days at Shenandoah NP. We both did individual research on which trails we wanted to go to, then we transferred it to this map via Sign Here tabs. Through this, we weeded out which trails would not fit in our short window and we were easily able to schedule the order in which we should do them. We started at the North entrance and drove and hiked as we went South through the park. I will always use this brand of map when visiting National Parks from now on. Thanks for a fantastic product that is functional and durable.

Great maps with trails well marked. Very handy for hiking! Only issue I had was that I ordered 3 of these as a gift. One came fully sealed in plastic, another had the plastic ripped and falling off, the 3rd had no plastic at all. However, maps were in good condition with no damage. Just would have preferred not giving a gift that looked as though it might have been used.

Was soll man man Groß sagen? Die Karte ist robust, man kann sie gut auf Wanderungen mitnehmen weil sie sich wieder gut falkten lässt und sie liefert die nötigen Informationen.

waterproof and tear resistant sounds good for hiking. The scale 1:30,000 is excellent for meand it really well detailed and clear. I have not been yet but I am sure it will be a good toolfor my visit there.
