Free, accurate and detailed (1:31,680 scale or 1 inch to the 1/2 mile), Halfmile’s PCT Maps are an excellent choice. Print them yourself or bring the files to a print shop. They are not available in stores and are not for sale. Halfmile’s maps include notes on water sources, resupply options, camping, detours and alternates.
The 2014 maps include suggestions from 2013 hikers, more than 400 miles of new GPS data collected with survey grade GPS equipment in California Sections L – M, and new smaller files optimized for mobile devices (in addition to standard files optimized for 8 1/2 x 11 printing).
We’ve been very impressed with the work that the Halfmile Project team has done in the past year.
They’re free, detailed and accurate.
