the Grand Enchantment Trail! All New version 1.7 now available! The official source for topo maps of the 730 mile Grand Enchantment Trail. Hundreds of hours in the making, this CD-ROM contains all of the 7.5' (1:24,000 scale) USGS topographic maps you'll need to navigate the Grand Enchantment Trail. Here you'll find over 100 high-resolution bitmap image files showing the entire route and its terrain, along with mileages, GPS data and much more, all viewable and printable from your computer's desktop or with an included freeware image application. This CD also contains a set of custom overview maps (USGS 1:500,000) with elevation profiles, highlighting the route's location, length, and terrain between each of its resupply points. GPS tracks and waypoints for the entire route are included as well, with waypoint data available both in printable and uploadable format. All maps are formatted for printing on 8.5" x 11" bright white, high resolution, or waterproof printer paper; in most cases it should be possible to print on both sides of a sheet to conserve paper and weight.
All-new Version 1.7 features recent changes to the route and
full synchronization with G.E.T.
guidebook chapters 1-27. This is the most accurate and
hiker-friendly version yet! (Map Set v2.0 - to be made available
upon completion of the guide - will sync with all 39 chapters.

Disclaimer: While it is our hope and endeavor that the G.E.T. Topo Map Set will allow experienced hikers to avoid most navigational problems and will contribute to a rewarding adventure along the route, we do not guarantee the 100% accuracy of these maps and waypoints and assume no responsibility for their use or misuse. Hiking and backpacking are inherently risky activities, so be sure to use these maps as part of an overall approach to maintaining safety in the backcountry, and do not assume their endorsement of a particular road, trail, or creek crossing, etc. Conditions in the field can change, sometimes quickly, and property boundaries can be redrawn to exclude public access. In short, use the maps and benefit from them, but use your skills and your awareness too. And always keep your options open when determining the safest and most practical direction of travel.
