Description
• Waterproof • Tear-Resistant • Topographic MapThe Schaghticoke Mountain to
East Mountain Topographic Map Guide makes a perfect traveling companion when
traversing the Connecticut and Massachusetts sections of the Appalachian Trail
(A.T.). The trail in this section of New England skirts the northwest corner
of Connecticut and traverses what remains of a once mighty mountain range. The
hiking is moderate through Connecticut and the climbs are short, but can be
steep. As the trail crosses into Massachusetts, it enters the Berkshires,
characteristic of wooded hills, outstanding views with pleasant, flat hiking
along the Berkshire plateau. Each A.T. Topographic Map Guide includes detailed
topographic maps at a detail of 1 inch = 1 mile. Each page is centered on the
A.T. and overlaps with the adjacent pages so there is little chance of getting
lost. Along the bottom of each page is a trail profile that shows the distance
between shelters, camping areas, and trail access points. The map and trail
profile provide a step by step visual guide to hiking the trail, mile by
rugged mile. The Topographic Map Guide is built for all levels of hiking
enthusiasts, from the day tripper to the multi month ‘thru-hiker’. The front
pages of the printed Topographic Map Guide include resupply information, town
inset maps, camping options, and much more.Every Topographic Map Guide is
printed on “Backcountry Tough” waterproof, tear-resistant paper. A full UTM
grid is printed on the map to aid with GPS navigation.Other features found on
