Wandelkaart Pacific Crest Trail | ITMB

Gedetailleerde kaart van deze prachtige meerdaagse wandeltocht. Met alle noodzakelijke informatie als campsites, afstanden en gevaarlijke river- of strandpassages. Onmisbaar voor diegenen die deze tocht gaan doen! This is actually completely new artwork, thanks to ITMB’s relationship with the Canadian government’s mapping office. We have replaced our earlier artwork with detailed NTS cartography that is superbly precise, and overlaid it with trail and camping facilities. In this map, we cover not only the renowned WCT itself, but the fabulous Carmanah old-growth forest in the interior of Vancouver Island, and the Broken Islands Group, part of the Pacific Rim National Park complex. This is truly a marvelous map of part of the west coast region of BC’s wonderful Vancouver Island.

Een degelijke kaart met aanduidingen van o.a. nationale parken, vliegveld, benzinepomp, dirt-roads. Als overzichtskaart goed te gebruiken. Certainly, this is the only map of Guam by any major cartographic publishing house. Here are some details: Guam is a north-south island considerably north of New Guinea, and forms part of the American-held group of islands known as the Northern Marianas. Its capital is Hagatna, and the main town is called Tamuning. The island has a well-developed international airport in the middle portion of the island, with a large US military airbase in the northeast corner. The vast majority of the island is touristic, and well worth a visit. The island was "discovered" by Ferdinand Magellan in 1521, and Hagatna is the oldest "European" city in the Pacific, dating from 1686. The town of Inarajan retains a decidedly Spanish appearance to this day. Other attractions include Tumon Beach and its many resorts, the Piti Underwater Observatory, and the famous Cocos Is…
