The \u003cb\u003eColorado Backpack Loops North\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ci\u003eTopographic Map Guide\u003c\/i\u003e covers a dozen backpack loops selected by National Geographic staff for their diversity, remoteness, and inspiring vistas. Each page of the \u003ci\u003eTopographic Map Guide\u003c\/i\u003e includes a detailed map of the trail with directions to the trailhead from the nearest major town as well as a trail profile with mileages to foreshadow the elevation changes that will be met along the way. GPS coordinates are also provided for strategic points along the trail to help with navigation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe trails are organized by the number of nights backpackers can expect to be in the backcountry, from one to more than three.
