Topo Map Set v1.81 - click for enlarged view
(artwork & packaging may vary; paper maps not included)
Version
1.81 now available! The official source for
topo maps
of the 730 mile Grand Enchantment Trail.
Hundreds
of hours in the making, this digital mapset contains all of
the 7.5' (1:24,000 scale) USGS topographic maps you'll need
to navigate the Grand Enchantment
Trail. Here you'll find over 100 high-resolution image
files showing the entire route and its terrain, along with
mileages, GPS data and much more, all viewable and printable
from your computer's desktop or with an included freeware
image application. This mapset also contains a set of custom
overview maps (USGS 1:500,000) with elevation profiles, highlighting
the route's location, length, and terrain between each of
its resupply points. GPS tracks and waypoints for the entire
route are included as well, with waypoint data available both
in printable and uploadable format.
All
maps are formatted for printing on 8.5" x 11" bright
white, high resolution, or waterproof printer paper; in most
cases it should be possible to print on both sides of a sheet
to conserve paper and weight.
Version 1.81 features recent changes to the route and full
synchronization with G.E.T. guidebook
chapters 1-27. This is the most accurate and hiker-friendly
version yet! (Map Set v2.0 - to be made available upon completion
of the guide - will sync with all 39 chapters. )

Disclaimer:
While it is our hope and endeavor that the G.E.T. Topo Map Set will
allow experienced hikers to avoid most navigational problems and will
contribute to a rewarding adventure along the route, we do not guarantee
the 100% accuracy of these maps and waypoints and assume no responsibility
for their use or misuse. Hiking and backpacking are inherently risky
activities, so be sure to use these maps as part of an overall approach
to maintaining safety in the backcountry, and do not assume their
endorsement of a particular road, trail, or creek crossing, etc. Conditions
in the field can change, sometimes quickly, and property boundaries
can be redrawn to exclude public access. In short, use the maps and
benefit from them, but use your skills and your awareness too. And
always keep your options open when determining the safest and most
practical direction of travel.
