Zion National Park Map (National Geographic Trails Illustrated Map, 214)

I like it, but I honestly didn’t have to really use it once I was at Zion. All the trails are well marked and it’s almost impossible to get lost. The most helpful map is always the tram maps so you know what stop to take for each trail you want to do. The National park website has all the information you need, but I still like having such a nice detailed map at my finger tips! It could be a good plan B thing to have for any of the serious multi day/week/month adventure hikers out there. There are plenty of places in Zion with no signal, though GPS will work perfectly fine almost everywhere, except for the narrows. I didn’t test the water proof capability, even though I did have it in the water proof bag out on the narrows, that’s really just abmain in/out trail that follows the water, so unless you try to take a split trail in some places, you probably would just use the map to help you gauge where you are and how far you have to go. Can’t get lost on a day hike in the narrows unless your inept, but then you wouldn’t be hiking on the narrows that far if you were! Be careful though, it’s very easy to run out of water, even for the short hikes, because you shouldn’t drink the narrows water with all the algae blooms and waste in it and you’re going against the current in the beginning of most day hikes. Check the weather, the map can’t save your life if you get caught in a flood.

Excellent map resource, especially as a newbie to the region.

Very durable and great quality.

I bought this before my trip to Zion. It was helpful in understanding the overall park. I planned out what to hike each day by using this map.One thing to understand about Zion is that there is barely any cell service. Once I started hiking past the narrows, the path is somewhat there but there is no service beyond the paved portion. This map helps orient yourself.This map is also more expensive in and near the park. I suggest getting it here before going.

very content with purchase

I really love nat geo's trail maps, this things can hold up really well. I had a stack of them out on this last trip through the southwest. Its not mine if I haven't spilled coffee on it yet apparently well knocked a cup over right on the maps at first I freaked out but after a quick trying and leaving in the sun the maps weren't even phased.As for the map itself, I carry them on all my hikes and haven't been disappointed when i have to use them on the trails. Another thing I use them for is planning my photography shots, it gives me a bigger picture of everything so I know what the terrain looks like, what direction each "viewpoint" is before I ever get to the parks

Feels indestructible, has all the information you’d need

Very detailed and durable does not tear was able to put it in my bag without her getting ruined and it’s waterproof love it. Will be buying more for new hikes
