Great map with very good detail for roads etc. Its not a canyon trail map however. Buy a Bears Ears guide book as well. But read those carefully as most don't fully reveal how arduous and difficult some canyon entry routes can be! Always stop and talk to BLM rangers at Monticello UT office.

I have quite a few Nat Geo maps and enjoy them. This one not so much. There is a huge lack of information in the area this maps covers. It does mark major sights in the Grand Gulch ( half of the map’s title) but it has nothing on the rest of the Cedar Mesa Plateau (second half of the title and 90% of the map). There are tons of interesting canyons in the area of the map that are not named and trail heads not marked that are in most books on the area. If you are visiting the area it is better than nothing but does not add to the experience or provide new information.

Great Trails Illustrated waterproof map that covers a large area of Cedar Mesa Plateau/Grand Gulch. Adds much information to the east of Grand Gulch from previous Grand Gulch map. Good detailed map to be used in combination with local guidebooks for many available hikes of various lengths. Includes Comb Ridge to the east which is an area I would like to explore. Very useful map with good scale for hikers and access to trailheads. Will go out when I can.

These National Geographic Maps are phenomenal. They feel like a waxy paper but if you try to do a small tear along the edge it stretches instead of tearing like paper so they seem to be made from a plastic paper instead. So that is how they are waterproof and tear proof. I found the detail really good with great hiking information and some geological information on many of these maps.

I rate this device, called a "map," highly. It provided a representation on a flat, durable, folding surface the features of the area roughly defined as the Grand Gulch / Cedar Mesa Plateau in Utah, United States, showing them in their respective forms, sizes, and relationships according to common 21st-Century cartographical conventions. The durability of the "map" is exceptional and its slightly plasticized surface shows a strong likelihood of being resistant to food and beverage insults, although I have not insulted it yet. I will get to that later. The scale, in conjunction with 1:24000 topo "maps", is excellent. CAUTION: Objects shown on the "map" are much smaller than they appear on-site.

I went backpacking with a group in Grand Gulch in late March, and this is the map we used. Nat Geo maps, as far as I have seen, are always very high quality and nice to look at. There are no marked trails in Grand Gulch, the map provides mileage markers for the ruins and side-canyon turn offs. This makes it easy to track your mileage/progress in an otherwise winding canyon, where you can't easily tell how far you've gone.

WE hiked the gulch..well, half of it, and another hiker had a different map that cut the trail in half?! So he had to flip the map over to read the other portion that was on the back of his map...needless to say, by evening of day 1 we were all just using my NatGeo map. Water resistant, tough paper, excellent topo, gives mileage estimates, plenty of details. caveat, the springs are hit and miss, but that's expected.

If you are backpacking the Grand Gulch, you want to take along a map. And this map is excellent. Clear, well marked and constructed of strong material. It won't rip and tear when you fold it or change its folds to concentrate on what you're interested in. I have mostly day hiked canyons of the Gulch and several times I have run across backpackers who were confused about their location and the distance to their destinations. And they chose not to carry a map. Take a map. And bring along a GPS if you have one.
