Maps
While we live in age where paper maps seem to be a thing of past, they still have vital place for wilderness hiking and backpacking. While many of us have come to depend on our GPS devices and smartphones, they can present problems. With smartphones, if you don’t have reception, you are SOL, unless you have the ability to download the map and trail before you head out and have reception, and your phone has a satellite link capability. With both a GPS and a smartphone, the other issue is equipment failure either through dead batteries, damage, or some other unfortunate event that renders them inoperable. This is where a paper map can come into play if you are in the wilderness and need to find out your way back out. Even though I rely on my GPS, I rarely head out without a paper map.
These are some of the map brands I’ve used when I head out and have in my collection.

Tahoe Rim Trail Map (National Geographic Topographic Map Guide, 1013) – Conceived in 1978 and completed in 2001, the 175-mile Tahoe Rim Trail (TRT) circumnavigates the beautiful Lake Tahoe Basin and traverses some of the most spectacular scenery in the Sierra Nevada and Carson Ranges.
For more than 50 miles the TRT coincides with the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT), a national scenic trail extending from Canada to Mexico through the western United States. The lowest point along the TRT is approximately 6,200 feet above sea level where the Truckee River enters Lake Tahoe; with the highest point at Relay Peak, 10,398 feet. While the average segment elevation gain is 5,400 feet, the total elevation gain of the entire trail is greater than 40,000 feet.
