The Great Divide Trail A2: Rainy Ridge to Coleman
The map has a scale of 1:50,000 with shaded relief, contour intervals of 25m and 100m, and a UTM grid. The maps are rotated to be as narrow as possible to conserve on weight while showing the GDT’s main route and alternates. They also show many of the access trails.
The map is long and narrow with the dimensions of 12 x 41.5 inches.
The map includes campgrounds and trailheads with locations in decimal degrees and UTM grid reference.
The map includes campgrounds, convenience stores, hostels, huts, lodges, post offices, resorts, resupply locations, shelters, stores that give a GDTA member discount, and visitor information centres.
All trails have distances to the nearest 100 meters, measured between the various icons (campgrounds, trailheads, distance markers, trail junctions, hostel, hut or shelters, etc.)
Areas that lack water sources are labeled.
Maps are printed on synthetic/waterproof paper and come folded in a protective plastic sleeve. Each sleeve weighs 9 grams.
Map Weight (without the sleeve): 38 grams
For every synthetic/waterproof paper map ordered, $1.50 is donated back to the Great Divide Trail Association
