5.0 out of 5 stars Clear and Full of Detail, June 4, 2009

By	W. Holsclaw (Boulder, CO USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a clear, easy-on-the-eyes map from Sky Terrain showing the region west of Colorado Springs at 1:75,000 scale, including Pikes Peak, Garden of the Gods, as far up as Monument to the north.

These maps always have maximum detail and ground-level information, and I always appreciate a cartographer who's obviously been there and seems to be itching to tell about it on his map.

As one reviewer complained, this map doesn't cover the paved trails and newer suburban developments to the East, but I think there must be other maps just for the city's concrete paths, which I haven't explored. I know there is a fine map of that sort for Boulder's bike path system, anyhow, so it's likely the local Springs government has one as well. This is a map for the signature areas in the mountains of Colorado Springs. Also included are trail descriptions and a cool little 3-D overview of the terrain.

5.0 out of 5 stars great detailed map, November 5, 2006

By	summiteer (colorado) - See all my reviews

This map covers a huge amount of territory, including the massive Pike Peak and most of the city and Cripple Creek. It must show over a hundred trails and seemingly every switchback. The trails are rated with symbols: easy, moderate or difficult. On the back 67 trails are described with mileage, elevation gain, type of activity and more info. The main shaded relief map gives an instant impression of the region, and all the detail--contour lines, roads, 4wd, trails, trailheads, campground, streams and so on make it perfect for exploring the outdoors. I recommend it.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not a hiking map, March 20, 2007

By	D. KUSHNER (Fairborn, OH United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

If you're looking for a map with trails and hiking info, don't waste your money on this one. It has but a very broad, widespread layout, with very limited information about Pike's Peak. Very disappointing.
