How to use it
A map to the general area
The book's trails and destinations sections explain each place; the map locates it. Find the place on the map, read about it in the book, then pin it in your own trail navigation software before you ride.
The book "can serve as a rough trail guide to the general area and location of where these things are so that you can use the software to reference them and better pinpoint the location."
Before you go
The map shows where places are, not whether a road is open today or right for your vehicle. Check the managing agency's page first: the trails by region page links each one, and Know before you go collects their rules on registration, roads, water and weather.
The legend
