Took this to Colorado for a week. Never got lost. When I found out the campground I planned on staying at was closed, I found another nearby before it got dark.
Forget paying for a road atlas if you are an outdoor enthusiast. This is a must have if you hike, camp, or follow the road less traveled. I have one for Utah, Colorado, and New Mexico--they are a great map to get you started finding new routes, camping destinations, and hiking trails,etc.
This book provides detailed maps that allow the user to find the best hiking trailheads and camping spots in the state. It details BLM and forest service lands and includes most of the dirt roads that are missing on the normal state maps. It is a necessary item for off hi way travel in the state.

Benchmark makes one of these for almost every state in the US.I own 12 different states in the West. Relief maps, points of interest, highway exit numbers, as well as peak names and other landmarks make these pages as close to USGS topo maps you are going to get.
They get so much use on my travels I wear them out. I have owned 2 of these books.
Main roads as well as little known dirt roads are well represented. There is always a copy of one in the BLM fire truck.it is USEFUL.
An EXTREMELY comprehensive book on the state of Colorado. The back of the atlas has metro area maps that have all the main roads in a metro area.
If you hike, mountain bike, travel back roads, love landscape photography, go camping, hunt, or fish.this atlas is almost REQUIRED.
Their maps do a great job in depicting the campgrounds, trailheads, trails, elevations, and ,of course, the roads in the mountains of Colorado. I had never heard of Benchmark Maps before but I thought I'd give their Colorado Atlas a try. After a three week hiking adventure in Colorado, I was very impressed with Benchmark. The Benchmark Atlas was far superior to the competition. On my next hiking trip, probably to New Mexico, I will definitely buy another Benchmark Atlas.
