Sierra Nevada Topographic map Poster

Grab your bear can or camp chair, kick your feet up and chew the fat about anything Sierra Nevada related that doesn't quite fit in any of the other forums. Within reason, (and the HST rules and guidelines) this is also an anything goes forum. Tell stories, discuss wilderness issues, music, or whatever else the High Sierra stirs up in your mind.

Sierra Nevada Topographic map Poster

Post by narc1370 »

Good afternoon, First time posting to HST, but long time lurker and even longer time backpacker. I am currently renovating a storage area on my property to a shed to hold all my outdoor gear/bikes, etc. I would like to decorate one of the walls with a large poster sized map of the Sierra Nevada and attach color coated pins to all the areas I've been throughout the past 25 years exploring. I would like my map to be a little more detailed than the ones I've found online so far. Does anyone know of a good map that would fit my needs? Thanks in advance. I recently found HST and love the comments/reviews/recommendations! Adam

Welcome to the HST! I'm guessing you have already done a google search for "sierra nevada wall map" Lots to choose from there.

I did, but I did not see anything that would be as detailed as I would like. I’m looking for something that’s going to show trails, lakes (not just the more prominent ones), etc...

Thanks for the reply. I’m sure there’s one out there, I just have to find it!

I use one that's 30x50 inches from Imus Geographics...seems to meet your criteria.
