This site is designed for quick access to California hiking trail maps. Some of these are free, some are sold by Amazon.com and similar, well-known and reputable vendors.



Sequoia Kings Canyon topo and trails map

Trails Illustrated Sequoia & Kings Canyon
National Geographic

USGS-based Trails Illustrated maps are more current than USGS maps and are specifically designed for recreation use showing trails, facilities, trail highlights, parking, etc. Printed on paper-like recycled plastic which I've found to be extremely durable. Projections are 1:111,850/1:62,500. Awesome, excellent map for these "twin" National Parks. This is an amazon.com link, which will save you a few bucks off the retail price.
