ive searched several times for free maps and i have yet to find a very good one, can anyone recommend a good place to purchase a map of the trail with detail like where the winch hills are located river crossing etc in coalition with the mile markers on the trail.

how many miles in is wh #1? the second river crossing? any and all help would be greatly appreciated the more information i can gather about the trail and its details would be a greta help when im actualy on the trail.

Funtreks guidebooks has some good info. Here is a map from that book

Just an FYI for water release.

"Expect 40 cfs until Mon Jun 30, then 80 cfs"

It has been a dribble lately. It looks like they're starting to release a bit more now but 80 CFS is still very low. It should be noted however that it will now again become necessary to start avoiding the holes. When the water was being released at 27 CFS it was pretty much drive anywhere.
