Backcountry Adventure Series Books
Backcountry Adventure Series
The Backcountry Adventure Series (by Peter Massey and Jeanne Wilson) is an amazing compilation of backcountry roads & jeep trails for California, Arizona, Utah, and Colorado. They include detailed maps, history, turn-by-turn waypoints with GPS coordinates, a trail ratings, and beautiful colorful photographs. I just can't say enough about these fantastic books!
As of 2012, several of the these books are out of print. The Backcountry Adventure Series seems to be replaced by the new Trails series, which also includes a new Nevada Trails - Western Region book.
GPS Routes
At one point Alder Publishing provided GPS routes for all the trails listed in the Backcountry Adventure Series books, but unfortunately they were only given in the obscure Maptech (RXF) format (rather than the more popular Garmin GPX or Google Earth (KMZ) formats), and now they are gone.
In any case, I converted these Backcountry Adventure Series tracks into Garmin (GPX) format:
- Backcountry Adventure Series GPS routes, Arizona - in Garmin (GPX) format
- Backcountry Adventure Series GPS routes, California (North) - in Garmin (GPX) format
- Backcountry Adventure Series GPS routes, California (South) - in Garmin (GPX) format
- Backcountry Adventure Series GPS routes, Colorado - in Garmin (GPX) format
- Backcountry Adventure Series GPS routes, Utah - in Garmin (GPX) format
- Backcountry Adventure Series GPS routes (ALL) - in Garmin (GPX) format
and also into Google Earth (KMZ) format:
- Backcountry Adventure Series GPS routes, Arizona - in Google Earth (KMZ) format
- Backcountry Adventure Series GPS routes, California (North) - in Google Earth (KMZ) format
- Backcountry Adventure Series GPS routes, California (South) - in Google Earth (KMZ) format
- Backcountry Adventure Series GPS routes, Colorado - in Google Earth (KMZ) format
- Backcountry Adventure Series GPS routes, Utah - in Google Earth (KMZ) format
- Backcountry Adventure Series GPS routes (ALL) - in Google Earth (KMZ) format
