Trail Tracks Hiking Maps are full color aerial panoramic terrain views with hiking trails color-keyed to degree of difficulty. These water and tear-resistant maps enable hikers to visualize trails from trailhead to destination including changes in topography, vegetation and trail connections. They are helpful in planning and completing day hikes and backpack trips. The maps are available in three formats: folded maps for one's pack, or flat and flat/laminated for hanging on the wall.
Review
Hiking in the mountains just became easier and more predictable, especially for those without lots of outdoor experience. -- The Denver Post, Sun., Jun 20, 1999 Using a Trail Tracks map, I'm finally able to clearly identify the mountains I'm looking at. --R McGraw, longtime hiker

Very useful durable map for hiking in RMNP. Folds easily and water resistant. Difficulty of the routes are noted in different colors on the map.

The Trail Tracks hiking maps are hands down my favorite hiking maps. I bought my first one between 15-20 years ago and am just now wearing it out. Ordered a new one this week. What I love about these maps is the fact that you can pick out the hikes you want to do based on the sights (waterfalls, wild flowers, etc), mileage, elevation gain, etc. All of the hikes are grouped by categories into "easy", "moderate" & "difficult" so that you can pick the right hike for the occasion. The paper is very durable and semi waterproof so it holds up after multiple foldings. It is not a technical map so I also use one that the national park gives me as a supplement. Sometimes the technical maps are more difficult to use because they have too much info on them which tends to frustrate me more than help. Especially the topographical maps, which I won't use.

If you've skied at many ski areas, you've probably seen tbe artist's other work. It's not a topo map and doesn't replace something like a Trails Illustrated map which is topographic and has more detail on trails and backcountry campsites. What it is a great artwork of the area with many labels of peaks, lakes, meadows and that sort of thing. If you are like me and it takes a long time to distinguish exactly what you are looking at from just viewing a Topo map, this map will help. I'm living in Estes Park this summer and I plan on just leaving this map on the wall for quick reference. For me it's a great resource and beautiful to look at as well. Depending on what you are hiking, this may be the only map you'll need, especially if you are staying on the east side of the park as east is where the vantage point is. If you prefer the standard topo, this will go great right alongside the topo before or during your hike. I like to look have more than one reference before planning a trip, including google maps/earth and something like Garmin Connect or Strava.I think most of the negative reviews thought they were getting a topo map. If you understand this is an illustrated map, I don't think you'll be disappointed I love it. Even in this day in age of google maps and google earth, this map is very useful.

Although I have several PC applications for trip planning including National Geographic TOPO, it is difficult to visualize the complete Rocky Mountain National Park (or any large park)to plan your hikes. There is nothing like being able to mark your hikes (using sticky notes) on a large map. The level of detail (distance, altitude change, difficulty) are all shown for each trail. I have the folding version and will include it in my pack for last minute hike changes as needed. I wish I had these for my Yellowstone and Yosemite trips.

My wife and I have used this map for 10 years and have found it be very useful in sorting out hikes, trailheads, distances, and level of difficulty. We have been annual Estes Park and RMNP visitors and serious day hikers. My main advice to anyone who is seriously exploring RMNP is that you use other sources of information as well. Lisa Foster's "Hiking RMNP including Indian Peaks Wilderness", Jerome Malitz' "Rocky Mountain National Park Dayhiker's Guide", Ken and Donna Dannen's "Hiking Rocky Mountain National Park" and for the most fit, Mike Donahue's "The Longs Peak Experience to name a few. No one should rely on this map as their only source of information. The RMNP forum online is also useful. Can't wait to roll into Estes this September. Happy hiking!

Name is a misnomer, it's not a 'hiker's map at all. Dont know what I was expecting, but something more than free hand drawing of 'nice mountains', altho the color coding of difficulty on trails may be helpful to some. Descrip was of a 3D map, and that's true, but with GoogleMaps and other online details of the earth these days, this belongs in early childhood education. There should be one of those "look inside" things from Amazon to ward off unsuspecting buyers. Just possibly not enough detail for a hike to get one lost, and that in a map, is NEVER a good thing. Pretty, yes. Useful, no.

This is not a topo map. It is, however, a fantastic panoramic map. It is very accurate, informative and works well on it's own or paired with a topo for those looking for more detail. An excellent map for the day hiker and a beautiful piece of artwork as well.
