The most popular maps are those in the Trails Illustrated series, produced by National Geographic and priced at around $9.95. Contact National Geographic Maps, PO Box 4357, Evergreen, Colorado, 80437-4357; tel 800 962 1643, tel 303 670 3457; www.nationalgeographic.com/map.

The topographical maps produced by the United States Geological Survey (USGS 7.5 minute series) are increasingly difficult to find in park shops. You may be able to purchase some locally, but to be certain these need to be ordered by mail. Details can be obtained from the main office: USGS Info Services, PO Box 25286, Federal Center, Denver, CO 80225; tel 303 202 4700; http://store.usgs.gov.

Other maps may be available at the park visitor centres. Some of these are insufficient for true backcountry walking, but adequate for the average day-walker.
