Trail maps have a great ability to guide trail users safely to great outdoor destinations. However, a bad trail map can make a trip unpleasant at best, or dangerous at worst. It is important to carefully consider design choices when creating a map, from broad styles to the smallest details.

Come prepared to share your thoughts on trail maps and learn some best practices for creating detailed, easy-to-use trail maps. All trail users, from casual hikers to experienced mountain bikers or hikers, should have access to a good trail map to get the most out of their outdoor experience.
