&; Waterproof &; Tear-Resistant &; Topographic Map

Winter Park delivers adventures of all kinds to those who visit. From Denver, it's the closest major mountain town&;just 67 miles away&;and this year-round destination tucked in the high country of the Rockies offers wild and remote opportunities. A paradise for outdoor enthusiasts of all types, Winter Park boasts dozens of trails, ideal for hiking and mountain biking that are easily accessible from town. Here visitors can truly experience the best of the Rockies: magnificent views of towering mountain peaks, exciting camping, hiking, biking, and a plethora of winter recreation including alpine skiing, cross country skiing, and riding snowmobiles.

With so many outdoor recreation options, visitors to Winter Park have an enviable problem, where should they start? This map is a combination of a standard trail map on the front with a helpful guide on the back that has a selection of recommended hikes, from the easy 3.2 mile Fraser River Trail to the strenuous Rogers Pass Trail that is almost entirely above tree line. Each selected trail includes a brief description, specs such as elevation gain and length as well as a detailed elevation profile to track your progress up and down the numerous peaks and valleys.

Each Local Trails map includes detailed trail maps at 1 inch = 1/2 mile. At this scale every turn of the trail is clearly visible and when covering steep terrain the contours are clearly visible. In addition to the standard features like trailheads and parking areas the maps also show difficulties for each trail segment so you can tell if the entire trail is moderate or if there is only a single short section of difficult on an otherwise easy trail.

Every Local Trails map is printed on "Backcountry Tough" waterproof, tear-resistant paper. A full UTM grid is printed on the map to aid with GPS navigation.
