Best Single Map for Hiking the Chugach November 5, 2006
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
The huge Chugach State Park is adjacent Anchorage, Alaska, and is often the first portion of Alaska's great outdoors encountered by tourists. Chugach State Park is also a favorite of local residents, with dozens of miles of hiking trails and tracks spread over a huge area of glaciers, glacial valleys, lakes, creeks, and tundra, inhabited by moose, bear, lynx, and marmots, among other species.
The front side of the IMUS Geographics 1:100,000 map provides coverage of the entire park, from East Anchorage to Girdwood and Turnagain Arm to the Knik River. The back of the map provides useful information on the park, to include campgrounds, fees, hazards, and descriptions of some of the more popular trails. It should noted that trails in the Chugach may be less used and hence less obvious than hikers may be used to in the lower 48. Hikers who are used to maps in the 1:25,00 or 1:50,000 scale will have to dust off their terrain reading skills; maps at that level of detail are rare in Alaska. The map is untreated paper and needs protection in wet conditions.
This map is highly recommended to visitors and Alaska residents alike who wish to explore the natural wonders of Chugach State Park.
