What is Reddit's opinion of Lake Placid, High Peaks: Adirondack Park Map (National Geographic Trails Illustrated Map, 742)?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

National Geographic has an illustrated map that you could cut out.

$6 on Amazon. Lake Placid, High Peaks: Adirondack Park (National Geographic Trails Illustrated Map) https://www.amazon.com/dp/156695357X/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_9UYqDb133XPDA

You may want two copies as some of them are on the backside.you might even need a second map.

This map links up with a guide for the high peaks by the Adirondak Mountain Club(?) or something like that.

There's also other maps by the AMC(?) but they are likely more technical.

East of Colden Dam, on the trail toward Cliff, Redfield, and the Four Corners, maybe .5 miles from Lake Colden.

Sidenote: not sure where you got that map that you linked to, but it's pretty sketchy, it's missing a lot and there are several trails on that map that don't exist or have been closed. I suggest getting a basic National Geographic map of the High Peaks Region, they're not that expensive and super helpful!

I just came back from a long weekend in the Adirondacks and I found this map to be really helpful. In particular, I liked that it also showed the shelters in addition to the trails and distances.

Some of the trails there are a little bit sparse on trail markers relative to other places I've hiked making me extra appreciative to have the map.

I scanned in my paper map: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/156695357X/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

yeah with a little bit of curiosity (and many repeated visits) you learn some spots to get alternate views and/or a bit of privacy.

as for maps, i don't think nynj trail conference has done anything for the adirondacks. for the high peaks area the two main maps i know of are the nat geo and the one put out by ADK.

personally, i find the nat geo map a little easier to read. i prefer the older version of the adk map to the current, though the new one is made of a better material. the ADK map has a few things the nat geo one doesn't, namely some of the bigger herd paths and camping/lean-to sites.
