I have one for Utah, Colorado, and New Mexico--they are a great map to get you started finding new routes, camping destinations, and hiking trails,etc. Forget paying for a road atlas if you are an outdoor enthusiast. This is a must have if you hike, camp, or follow the road less traveled.
Dancing on the Edge of an Endangered Planet It is a necessary item for off hi way travel in the state. This book provides detailed maps that allow the user to find the best hiking trailheads and camping spots in the state. It details BLM and forest service lands and includes most of the dirt roads that are missing on the normal state maps.
There is always a copy of one in the BLM fire truck.it is USEFUL. Relief maps, points of interest, highway exit numbers, as well as peak names and other landmarks make these pages as close to USGS topo maps you are going to get.
Benchmark makes one of these for almost every state in the US.I own 12 different states in the West. The back of the atlas has metro area maps that have all the main roads in a metro area.
I have owned 2 of these books. Main roads as well as little known dirt roads are well represented.
If you hike, mountain bike, travel back roads, love landscape photography, go camping, hunt, or fish.this atlas is almost REQUIRED. They get so much use on my travels I wear them out.
An EXTREMELY comprehensive book on the state of Colorado.
The Benchmark Atlas was far superior to the competition. Their maps do a great job in depicting the campgrounds, trailheads, trails, elevations, and ,of course, the roads in the mountains of Colorado. On my next hiking trip, probably to New Mexico, I will definitely buy another Benchmark Atlas. I had never heard of Benchmark Maps before but I thought I'd give their Colorado Atlas a try. After a three week hiking adventure in Colorado, I was very impressed with Benchmark.
You won't be disappointed with any of these. The Benchmark Atlas series are the most accurate, detailed and attractive maps available. They put all the other atlases of this type to shame.
