The Collegiate Peaks region is a popular destination for many year-round
outdoor activities, least of which is the climbing of the eight
fourteeners in the Collegiate Range. National Geographic’s Trails
Illustrated map of Collegiate Peaks Wilderness Area delivers unmatched
detail and valuable information to assist you in your exploration of
this breathtaking wilderness. Expertly researched and created in
partnership with local land management agencies, this map features many
key points of interest including Twin Lakes, Buena Vista, Leadville,
Taylor Park Reservoir, Aspen, Snowmass Ski Area, Crested Butte, and
portions of the Taylor and Arkansas rivers.
This map can guide
you off the beaten path and back again with miles of mapped trails
including the Colorado and Continental Divide trails. Trail mileage
between intersections will help you choose the path that’s right for
you. Biking, cross country ski, snowmobile, and motorized trails are
clearly marked as well. Portions of the Top of the Rockies, Collegiate
Peaks, and West Elk Loop scenic byways are noted for those wishing to
take in the scenery by car. Road types are differentiated, so you know
if the route you choose is a four-wheel-drive or high-clearance road.
The map base includes contour lines and elevations for summits, passes,
and many lakes. Some of the recreation features noted include
campgrounds, trailheads, river access, fishing areas, interpretive
trails, and winter access to 10th Mountain Division huts.
Every
Trails Illustrated map is printed on "Backcountry Tough" waterproof,
tear-resistant paper. A full UTM grid is printed on the map to aid with
GPS navigation.
