Why it works

Katmai is one of the most remote national parks in the US, accessible only by floatplane or boat — accurate terrain and route mapping is essential for backcountry travel in a park where brown bears are abundant and trails are minimal. The Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes' volcanic terrain requires detailed topographic mapping for safe navigation. Waterproof construction is essential in Alaska's wet coastal climate where rain is nearly constant.

Ideal for

Wildlife watchers, backpackers, and adventurers exploring Katmai National Park's bear viewing areas, Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes, and remote wilderness in Alaska.
