About the Trail
Descend to the bottom of the canyon, cross the Colorado River and return to the south rim. The route features demanding terrain, drastic elevation change, and significant temperature variation.

Process
I use precise digital elevation models (DEMs) to create shaded relief for every valley, ridge, peak, and river, which I add to vintage 1:24,000 topo maps from the United States Geological Survey. These historic maps were originally printed on a lithographic press and field-checked on foot, and they give each print a natural, authentic feel.
Commission a Personal Map
If I don't have a map for a trail or place you love, you can commission a personal map. You can also vote for the next map.
Legal Disclaimer
My maps are for illustrative purposes only. Although almost all the natural features are accurate, historic USGS maps are of varying age, reliability, and resolution, glaciers and routes above treeline change frequently. These prints should not be used for navigation, land ownership claims, or up-to-date information about public access.
Great experience designing a custom map and the results were outstanding!
Very nice work. The map I ordered is the largest Wonderland map Paper Cairns offers and the printing is very clear and easy to make out all the little details . I ordered the maple frame. It has very clean miter cuts. I used hard locking mounts for my installation but the frame does come with mount points on the sides near the top. They look very solid and should provide for a solid installation. The shipping was quick. It showed up by FedEx within a couple days and it was well protected. Highly recommended for those that want a display quality contour map of Mount Rainer.
The map was beautiful and high quality! We were very excited about the product.
It’s beautiful accurate and thorough. Shipped well and arrived in pristine condition. Beyond delighted with this purchase. Worth every penny.
Fun and Great Memories! Working with Josh was a truly enjoyable experience – he has a true love for the mountains and understood how to build a beautiful and narrative description that captured the essence of our exciting trip to the summit of Mount Adams.
