National Geographic – Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area – Trails Illustrated Folding Travel Map

The magnificent Multnomah Falls is just one of many natural, cultural, and recreational attractions in the Columbia River Gorge Scenic Area. The 80-mile-long gorge contains diverse ecosystems ranging from the lush Oneonta Gorge Rain Forest to the arid Celilo Grasslands.

Expertly researched and created in partnership with local land management agencies, National Geographic’s Trails Illustrated map of Columbia River Gorge provides an unparalleled tool for exploring this breathtaking region. Some of the key areas of interest featured on the map include the White Salmon, Klickitat, Sandy, and Lower Deschutes rivers; Yacolt Burn State Forest; Maryhill, Columbia Hills, and Rooster Rock state parks; Mark O. Hatfield Wilderness; and portions of Mount Hood and Gifford-Pinchot national forests.

With miles of clearly marked trails including the Pacific Crest National Trail and the Oregon National Historic Trail, and such scenic roadways as the Historic Columbia River Highway and Yakima Scenic Byway, this map will prove invaluable whether you’re taking in the scenery on foot or by car. A helpful list of waterfalls makes it easy to take in these natural wonders in your travels.

Many recreation features are noted as well, including campgrounds, trailheads, interpretive trails, boat launches, and areas for fishing, windsurfing, and swimming. The map base includes contour lines and elevations for summits. Every Trails Illustrated map is printed on “Backcountry Tough” waterproof, tear-resistant paper. A full UTM grid is printed on the map to aid with GPS navigation.

We love technology and enjoy the convenience of GPS, but you can’t plan a trip on a phone screen and navigation doesn’t work where there’s no cell signal.
