Conquer the Rockies with National Geographic’s Colorado 14ers Topographic Map Guide Booklets

The Most Authoritative and Usable 14er Maps

The Map Pack includes authoritative and beautifully designed trail maps for all 58 of Colorado’s peaks over 14,000 feet in a single two-booklet bundle. Each map page provides accurate trail statistics including trail mileages, total elevation gain and loss, elevations at trail junctions, and trailhead elevations and directions to trailheads. Route information includes climbing class (i.e. difficulty rating) and points of reference along the route. The maps include both 2WD and 4WD trailhead locations for the standard, recommended summit route.

More convenient and easier to use than folded maps, but just as compact and lightweight, National Geographic’s Topographic Map Guide booklets are printed on ‘Backcountry Tough’ waterproof, tear-resistant paper with stainless steel staples.

All 58 Fourteeners in Two Compact Booklets

Colorado 14ers North includes the fourteeners of the Front, Mosquito, Tenmile, and Sawatch ranges. Almost half of Colorado’s fourteeners fall in these ranges, but their proximity to large population centers leave no shortage of hikers on their slopes. Moderate ridges, established trails, and accessible trailheads are the norm on the standard routes, making many (but not all) of these peaks relatively easy to climb.

Colorado 14ers South includes the fourteeners of the Elk, San Juan, and Sangre de Cristo ranges. These peaks are generally more difficult than their northern counterparts. Even the easier ones like Humboldt, Sunshine, Redcloud, and Handies have their unforgiving slopes. Crestone and Little Bear in the Sangres and Capitol Peak and Maroon Bells in the Elk Range, are among the “hardest” fourteeners.

Bag Two 14ers in One Day!

A Colorado fourteener is any mountain in the state whose summit exceeds 14,000 feet in elevation. There are five unofficial fourteeners: Conundrum Peak, El Diente Peak, Mount Cameron, North Eolus, and North Maroon Peak. Although all have summits above 14,000 feet, they are considered unofficial because their peaks do not rise 300 feet above the saddle that connects them to a higher peak. The maps show you where to follow the connecting ridges to summit two 14ers in one day.
