Maps of the 4-Corners Region

1. How to get there and how to hike once there:

2. Where to get topographical maps

When you visit Moab or any other center in Canyon Country, most stores, including food stores, book stores, service station snack bars, etc. carry good quality maps. Thus, unless you wish to preplan your hikes, you need not worry about being able to get maps when you visit.

The park entrance stations provide only rudimentry outline maps which can not be used for understanding where you are. They do carry topographic maps, but they seem to open late and close early, so if you're not arriving early in the day, don't rely on them.

Remote entrance stations like that at the Maze can't be relied on for anything including water.

If you'd like to get maps in advance of your trip, try these websites which are the makers of the best maps I've seen.

  • Trails Illustrated makes the best topo maps for hiking/backpacking/bike touring of the national parks.

In Canada, Mountain Equipment Coop sells maps and in the USA, REI sells them.
