One of the most famous mountain ranges in the United States, the Winds often defy reason with their beauty. For decades this range has been a destination for backpackers and rock climbers from around the world. Anyone who knows the Winds will tell you that to truly experience the range, you must trek for two or more days into it. That is mostly true, but we have included descriptions for six of the Winds' best day hikes on this map for you day trekkers. And even for campers, you can't go wrong with the Winds. The photo above was taken from Pinto Park of Cirque of the Towers. This map covers the towns of Lander, Pinedale, and Dubois, and the Bridger, Fitzpatrick, and Popo Agie Wilderness Areas. All trailheads and access roads are also shown to get your trip started successfully. Scale: 1:100,000 Contour Interval: 100 feet Size Unfolded: 25.2 x 39.2 inches Size Folded: 4.2 x 8.0 inches
Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.
To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.
The map has a lot of details, although not all trails are marked. I think it has as much detail as any Trails Illustrated product, though. What was annoying is that, after day 3 of a 5 day trip, I concluded, based on a Gaia Topo Maps app on my phone, that either the GPS tracking in my phone was off, or the mileages for trail sections marked on this map are consistently off by about 20%, being approximately 80% in value of what the actual distance turned out to be. I haven't compared these numbers to any of the guidebooks printed for the area I was in.
I guess the map is durable but not at all like I hoped it would be. You can get the same map for free at any ranger station. My Foghorn camping book is much more informative for about the same money. I am very disappointed.
