Shenandoah National Park Map (National Geographic Trails Illustrated Map, 228)

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

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.

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.

Nice looking map, trails and features clearly marked. I wish it were more zoomed in, for hiking/contours, like the old USGS 24k quad sheets. This map is 1:75k, though has some 1:30k insets. Good for overview, but maybe not the details. I’d buy it again.

It's an okay trail map. I wanted it to check out trails on the Skyline Drive. I don't think it was worth the money I spent. I found trail information online that was free.

I folded and unfolded this map so many times even ahead of my week hiking in Shenandoah. The map held up and didn’t wear or tear. Recommend.

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 little map shows much more than I expected. All types of different trails are highlighted in different colors. Hiking trails, Horse trails, bike trails, etc... all shown very clearly. Shelters, campgrounds, stocked trout streams, etc...waterfalls, swimming...and so much more. Great. I cannot wait to go.

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.

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.

Carte de très bonne qualité et résistante à l'eau, aux pliages et dépliages,...Chaque balade est bien indiquée.J'ai hâte de l'utiliser...
