Trail map of the Needles District in Canyonlands National Park. One side of the map is a detailed view of the most popular trails in the area. The other side of the map features an area map to provide context and small maps describing popular routes.
This map was designed to be used by casual hikers and backpackers who stick to the most popular trails. The map is 1/4 the size of a typical trail map, while still depicting terrain at a more detailed scale. The smaller size is easier to carry and consult while hiking and is more economical to produce.
