MAP DOWNLOADS:
You may download printable files of each trail segment or all trail segments at once.
The down load files are zip files. Once you have saved them
in a folder on your computer where you would like the maps to be, you will need to unzip them. Open the
resulting .jpg file in your favorite graphics program and print it at 100% actual size.
If you do not have a graphics program try Microsoft Photo Editor. All
maps should fit on an 8.5 x 11 sheet of paper, and be at a scale of 1:24,000.
