Trail Tracks

When I leave the asphalt roads, I really like knowing where I am, where I've been and where I'm going. GPS units to do an amazingly good job of on-road navigation, but I can't rely on them for off-asphalt travelling. They just don't have those roads in their map data base. I've managed to collect maps from government sources like the US Dept of Agriculture, US Forest Service, the BLM and others, and from tracks that I have run and recorded. I have keyed in many myself from scratch using Google Earth. The files can be loaded into many GPS units and tablets or phones that run an appropriate mapping API.

You can find and download kmz files of all the listed trails and pdf map files of the forests, parks, monuments, California State Parks and OHVs, most of which Motor Vehicle Use Maps (MVUM). Some areas only have visitor maps and a few have maps created by other individuals.
