New Map of the Mount Adams, Indian Heaven and Trapper Creek Wildernesses Available

VANCOUVER, WA -- A new, color map of the Mount Adams, Indian Heaven and Trapper Creek Wildernesses on the Gifford Pinchot National Forest is available for sale at Forest Service offices and other recreational outlets.

The new map details the three Wildernesses and replaces maps last printed in the early 1990s. The cover of this map has a beautiful picture of Mount Adams taken from Bird Mountain in the Indian Heaven Wilderness.

These new maps will provide visitors with details on a number of Forest activities. The maps display information on the Wilderness trails system as well as information on, camping, leave-no-trace Wilderness use, horse camps, fishing, hunting, picnicking, and other points of interest. The map is printed on a durable rain-proof paper, which should allow it to hold up better during those rainy trips into the Forest.

The topographic map contains coordinates for those using global positioning systems (GPS), and a matrix listing recreation sites making it easier to find points of interest.

The Mount Adams, Indian Heaven and Trapper Creek Wildernesses map sells for $5 at all Forest Service offices and some sporting goods stores.
