<snip> Map reading came as a challenge to our crew when the scouts
discovered the Philmont topo maps don't necessarily show the current
trails. Trail Peak, for example, has a delightful set of switchbacks from
the Beaubein side, but those are nowhere to be seen on the topo maps.
Comment...
Recently constructed trails (Trail Peak noted above, off of Tooth Ridge
into Base Camp, etc.) are on the new (2002 and 2003) Section maps , but
not the (1998) overall map, which should not be used for navigation in any
case.
In addition to not showing new trails, older maps show trails that no
longer exist...
