The map covers the entire park but also includes adjacent sections of Dixie National Forest, Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument, and Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, much of which duplicates earlier Trail Illustrated maps.The map is the most up to date and comprehensive for the covered area. It is a great resource, but as always, use common sense.Like most Trails Illustrated maps this one is a compilation from other sources with limited verification. A specific problem with this map is that it shows several roads that are closed to the public. This includes both administratively closed roads and roads on private property. Trails are shown on the National Forest and in the National Park, primarily based on agency maps. The map provides a good overview of the trailheads and trail locations, but the scale is too small for navigation in the backcountry.
It was useful to traverse the Cathedral Valley Loop (which is a days worth of very remote and very rough dirt roads.) Note, it's not a super detailed map simply because it scale is fairly large but if you are sticking to the trails and have (and know how to use) a lenstatic compass or a GPS it would be fine.
I started collecting topo maps as my souvenir from parks I would visit. Now I try to get the maps before heading out. The maps in this series helps me get a better feel for the terrain that I am about to visit.
I have several National Geographic Topo maps. I love how they are heavy duty, waterproof and tear proof. A must have when hiking. Besides being a map, it gives you some hiking routes and information about the area.
I did hesitate to buy a map a one-time use: I would only visit for a day. But it was better than the free NPS map, and having it ahead of time helped to plan our approach. No, you probably aren't going to navigate the backcountry with these maps. But it is definitely money well-spent.
Envelope was too small and map was folded in half so there's a bend in the middle that runs perpendicular to the folds. I suggest they spend a dime more for a larger envelope.
An excellent overview of the region. Not good enough for cross country navigation on foot, but it can get you to the road head.
