Excellent map for all of your hiking and backcountry needs. The newer versions of these maps have the distances of the trails marked which is handy when planning your trips.
As an earth scientist, maps are part and parcel of my skill set. And having been formerly employed at Yosemite Nat'l Park and a continued regular visitor, the illustrated trails map was a must have. Having been prepared by National Geographic was icing on the cake.The map is printed on all weather sturdy stock with great colors and in high detail. I can show my grandchildren the many trails I've hiked and share stories of backpacking from Yosemite to Lake Tahoe.Viewing the Yosemite high country is awesome and this map provides suitable info for planning a trip and guiding your hikes.
National Geographic publishes trail maps for many of the National Parks, including the popular Yosemite National Park in the mountains of eastern California. This two-sided map features a multi-color presentation, plastic coating for survival in the field, and enough flexibility to be folded and refolded in various ways.One side shows the southern half of the park, including the southern and western entrances and the high use areas of Yosemite Valley, Tuolumne Meadows, and Mariposa Grove. The scale of the map is 1:80,000; inset maps of the Yosemite Valley and Tuolumne Meadows are at 1:40,000. The reverse side of the map shows the northern half of the park and provides general information on its operations.The map offers a vivid presentation of countours, roads, trails, and other prominent features. It has sufficient details for driving around the park; it may or may not offer enough detail for hiking and climbing, depending on the experience of the user. "National Geographic"s Yosemite National Park Map" is highly recommended as a planning and travel resource.
This durable map has terrific detail and is an essential tool for us old-school hikers who don't like using or carrying a GPS unit.
This is a premium map. It is thick paper that has a substantial feel to it. It includes the park and surrounding areas. otherwise a normal map.
This map weighs 3.2 ounces and covers all of Yosemite National Park. Its scale is 1:80,000, or 1 inch = 1.26 miles. I own several topographic trail maps of Yosemite, and this one is the most beautiful. Trail distances are marked.I will probably never hike with this map, because my Tom Harrison maps are smaller (thus lighter) and more zoomed in. The Tom Harrison Yosemite High Country trail map covers most of the places I keep going back to, and weighs half as much as this map. However, for a trip that includes visits to locations all over the park (e.g. if you're driving and want to do day hikes at Hetch Hetchy and Yosemite Valley and Tuolumne Meadows) the National Geographic map might make a lot of sense.I do like this map for brainstorming my next hike at home -- you can see a lot of park at once, though the area north of Hetch Hetchy is on the back of the map. It's also nice that it includes some of the wilderness and national forest areas adjacent to Yosemite. Planning a trip along the border between Tom Harrison's Yosemite and Mammoth High Country maps was a nuisance I could have avoided if I'd had this map at the time.I'm glad I have this map, though it's not the first Yosemite map I'd recommend for hiking, especially if you're going to be staying in a single area.
This was very helpful on our trip to Yosemite. Very Very detailed, probably more so than we needed. If you are just a touristy stick to the popular trails kind of hiker, the free map you get in the park is probably sufficient, but this one is a must if you backpack the back country and hike into the wilderness.Great coating on this map to keep from getting wet. I accidentally wrinkled very badly, and flattened it out and put some heavy weights on it and it was good as new again.
Purchased this for Yosemite backpack planning and trail use. Have used about six National Geographic Trails maps now for backpacking in different parts of the U.S. Always very helpful. In this case, it would be better if map elevation profiles and information about specific trails were available, but the map would need to be twice as big. So a map for a specific part is required for quick profile info or internet searching. Excellent product.
