Review
The most visited national park is surely one of the most written about
too. There are several general guides to Great Smoky Mountains National
Park along with books that focus on specialized topics like day hikes,
fishing, wildflowers or waterfalls. Here are some of the best.

The map is made of weatherproof material that looks like it will last a long time. The map is easy to read and has a lot of color-coding to make it easy to follow. I am very happy with the purchase.

Excellent map of Smokies, so glad I purchased. This is my second year hiking in the smokies and I wanted to see all the trails, not just "some" listed in hiking guides of most popular trails. This map is awesome. It shows roads, trails, trail heads, distance of each trail, if the trail has a waterfall, where camping areas are and much more. It's is very well made on thick paper with a little coating to be used multiple times. It is a huge map, I have to spread it out on the floor and do my planning. It has two sides to it covering the smokies and a little of the cherokee forest. Best map I have found of hiking trails for the Smokies. Don't hesitate to purchase.

This is a great trail map and it is accurate. The topological information is very useful, as are the compass directions. I have never gotten lost with this map and have been able to point many of my fellow travelers in the right direction. It's somewhat water resistant and it's made it through many, many hikes, including fording Abrams Creek. If you are going hiking in the Smokies, I cannot recommend this highly enough. I would recommend that you not hike in the Smokies without it!

This map is so good, I gave mine away. I knew my 229 map was one revision behind but I had been planning on waiting until one later than this (2010) came out.
I was on a trip last month, heading out of the Elkmont area and noticed a father and son gearing up and looking at the official park map. I asked if they were going to 23 or 30 and the father said he thought is was 24. I knew 21 and 24 were closed, and figured they could use a better map. I handed him my 229 map, told him 21 was not on it in the right spot and pointed his way to 23 after he checked his permit. He thanked me for the map and thanked him for giving me an excuse to get a new one.
I'm taking another trip this weekend so a new 229 is on the way.
Let me also recommend the 316 and 317 maps, they split the park in 2 East and West sides to be even larger and provide more detail than the 229.

I own about 30 (yes, 30) of the maps from this Trails Illustrated updated series with the pretty contour shadings. They accompany me on all hikes in major parks and this map had sufficient detail and markings for navigating about 60 miles of backpack through the park. The material is resilient and hardy enough to tolerate being folded around and against the original creases so as to allow the map use the ability to fold down the map to precisely the segment being hiked that day without fear of ruining the entire map for future trips.

This is a very nice map made of sturdy material. It covers a larger area than I thought, making detail hard to see. It is also rather large. For a large overview of the park this is a great map. For a trail map- maybe not so much.
Thank you for your feedback.

Great product with detail one can attain from such a large map. It helped us navigate through the park. I don't know when a newer version is available.
