This new map from the experts at the Appalachian Mountain Club is the perfect planning and recreation map for nature lovers, day hikers, and backcountry enthusiasts planning a trip in the magnificent White Mountain National Forest of New Hampshire and Maine. Created using the latest GPS technology, this full-color map displays almost the entire National Forest on one side, giving both new and experienced White Mountain visitors a regional overview of the landscape-highlighting both natural and cultural features--that's helpful for planning a scenic drive, day trip, weekend excursion, or even a week-long hut-to-hut adventure. In addition to trails, trailheads, and summits, the map shows roads, towns, and campgrounds, and highlights natural features such as waterfalls, gorges, and scenic views. On the back side, users will find larger scale insets of trails in the Forest's most popular areas, including Pinkham Notch, Crawford Notch, and Franconia Notch, plus dozens of hike descriptions to help hikers enjoy the best the National Forest has to offer. Whether they are first-time visitors or have been checking off their 4,000-footer list for years, nature lovers of all abilities will appreciate this easy-to-use map of the White Mountains, created by the publishers who know them best.

This is a quality map - tear resistant, water resistent, easy to read. Roads are clearly labeled and even highway exits are marked. However, the map only has trail mileages for certain areas that are blown up as insets. Mileages for most of the Whites are missing. It also doesn't show parking lots. These are the things I need when I'm planning a hiking trip, so this map doesn't work for me. I would recommend Map Adventures White Mountains Map (not currently sold at Amazon.com).

This map has No latitude/longitude coordinates marked. It is still made for pre-GPS era when people rely on compass to determine the locations. But compass is useless in whiteout conditions, which is a norm in winter. So this map is NOT very useful for hiking the presi traverse in winter time.

We used this for several day hikes this fall and found it a helpful way of selecting choice day hikes. The trail descriptions are very brief so its no substitute for a book. You have to carefully examine the map to see if there are water falls or other features of interest. As always, its really great to have a good map of the whole White Mt. region to ensure you don't get lost in an unfamiliar area.

For someone looking to get the big picture of the white mountains, this is the perfect map! I was looking at various maps through Amazon and each was specific to a particular area. This map is probably not as detailed but for someone looking to see everything that's out there, this is a great product. However, it does have a few detailed specific zooms like that of Mount Washington. In addition various day hikes are labeled all over the map with descriptions on the reverse side. If you want the whole picture, this is a great map at a great price!

This is a good map to have as an overview of the White Mountain region. It has insets with more detail (ie. topographical contour lines) on all the most popular areas. It is not necessarily detailed enough for longer wilderness trips, but overall an excellent overview map.
