Catskills Maps? on 02/02/2011 08:08:10 MST Print View

I m looking to pack a lot through the Catskills of NY this Spring/Summer. AMC has a Catskill Mtns Trails Map. The Map states that it covers the East & West preserve/park. Does this Map cover all of the Trails in the Catskills or does a North & South set exist?

Or- What is the best map or set out there for the Catskills?

Anyone wanna part with any?

Thanks

Mark - IMO this is the best map set for the Catskills:

http://www.nynjtc.org/panel/catskill-trails-map

They are easy to read, waterproof, very durable and are broken into logical sections. It will also break down all the trail info on each map and include mile markers as well as camping sites and water sites. It does cover all the Catskills trails and you should be able to pick it up online or at EMS/REI.

Edit: I have used it for several years now and would never use another.

Thanks-

The AMC map seems to get a lot of criticism. Will pick up the Trail Conf maps.
