Maps

Since I started hiking the Pike Peak Region I had been on the look out for maps that show in detail the various trails that are available. I have pulled some my maps from http://www.trails.com/ . Nice site and good info but not what I was looking for. I recently was visiting the Garden of the Gods, information center and found a great map of the region. The map is titled: “Colorado Springs Pikes Peak” it is produced by Sky Terrain Trail Maps. http://www.skyterrain.com/.

I now plan on getting a couple of more to have on hand. I like to cut out the sections and laminate them so I have a smaller map to work with. This is also comes in handy as you can highlight your hike for the day and leave it home on the fridge. If for some reason you don’t make it back, at least they know where to find you.
