Welcome to The Total Escape Shop, where we’ve been selling maps online since 1998. Yep, that long.
Hard copy maps will be always there when the cell signal drops, when the phone battery dies and when you really need it most (lost on a trail with minimal daylight left). Count on the waterproof Tom Harrison brand topo maps to find the perfect stream-side camp (away from the crowds) or the nearest dirt road access to your wilderness waterfall, or maybe even that challenging 4×4 trail (and sunset picnic dinner) you’ve been dreaming about.
THE BIG MELT is underway as the high-country snows fill our abundant creeks, rivers, lakes and reservoirs. Water levels will be high and flooding possible – in most regions, so be prepared for road closures, inaccessible lakeside campsites and super muddy roads in the back country. Many gated dirt roads could stay shut in the Sierra National Forests, while snow melts, downed trees are cleared and the mud dries up.
mountain elevations still have plenty of snow above 5000 feet elevation.
but wild flora still blooms:
