Why it works

Wheeler Peak is New Mexico's highest point and a popular mountaineering objective from Taos — accurate summit route and approach trail detail is essential for hikers attempting the peak. Taos Ski Valley's summer hiking trail network and the Wheeler Peak Wilderness's backcountry terrain require detailed mapping for navigation. Waterproof construction survives the Sangre de Cristo Mountains' monsoon season thunderstorms and the variable weather common at Wheeler Peak's high elevation.

Ideal for

Mountaineers, hikers, skiers, and outdoor enthusiasts exploring Wheeler Peak, the Wheeler Peak Wilderness, and Taos Ski Valley in New Mexico. See also NGTI731 (Santa Fe & Truchas Peak) for adjacent coverage to the south.
