We highly recommend you use the pdf maps below with the Avenza app. For directions on downloading and using Avenza, click here. Once you have the app downloaded, you should be able to copy the links from the maps below or download/save them on your phone and then upload them into the app. The free version only allows 3 maps, so if you have others saved in the app you will need to delete some others. While hiking, open the map on Avenza and it will show you where you are as a blue dot.
