“Trails of the Tucson Area”, “Trails of East Phoenix”, and “Trails of West Phoenix” comprise “The Map” series and are all premiere area trail guides. Each map contains hundreds of miles of rated trails, accurate route descriptions, gorgeous photographs, easy to read color coded topography and pertinent information on weather, resources, and guidelines for safe hiking and riding. These maps may even be more durable than the user - they are all printed on waterproof, tear resistant plastic paper - that is even recyclable!
While “The Map” is geared for mountain bikers, all the routes and trails can easily be adapted for any trail user. In fact, some trails are better suited for hiking than riding. The guides are thorough but extremely user friendly and also claim to be consistent with “legend and crazy bar talk.” Unfolded these maps are large enough to show great detail, yet fold down to a concise size - a must for your fanny pack or jersey, right next to your spare tubes and energy bar.
According to Frank Martin, owner of the Bike Barn in Phoenix, Az., “The Map" is long overdue. For years my customers have been asking for an accurate, comprehensive, easy to read map of the trails in and around Phoenix. And now I can give it to them.”
The Tucson Map, already a classic, has been updated and is now joined by the soon to be classics, Phoenix East and Phoenix West. And if that isn’t enough for “trailheads”, rumor has it that the crew at AMK is working on trail maps of the Grand Canyon and Prescott.
