Salt River Canyon Tonto National Forest

One of the most visited urban forests in the U.S., with approximately 5.8 million visitors annually, the Tonto National Forest spans almost 3 million acres of diverse terrain just outside of Phoenix, AZ. Tonto encompasses a wide variety of vegetation ranging from cactus studded desert to pine forested mountains, and numerous recreational opportunities throughout the year. National Geographic's four new Trails Illustrated maps are the most detailed and up to date for the forest, carefully researched and developed in co operation with local land managers and agencies. Each map contains easy to read trails, numbered forest service roads, campsites, access points, scenic points of interest, and important facilities. Like all Trails Illustrated maps the new Tonto National Forest titles are both highly durable and environmentally friendly. Each map is printed in the United States, at a certified green printer, using low V.O.C. inks on waterproof, tear resistant material. Proceeds from the sale of Tonto National Forest Trails Illustrated Maps go to support the National Geographic Societys nonprofit mission to increase global understanding and promote conservation of our planet through exploration, research, and education.
