I am looking for a user friendly website where I can download and print topo maps with ski and also hiking trails. It seems there is lots of websites that charge a fee for this.

Is there any that do not charge fees and are worth using?

Thanks for the help.

Wow! Marine charts are free. They charge $15.00 for topo maps?

I recall reading somewhere once that the marine maps are free because they're required by law, and taxes pay for them, ergo you've already paid for them, and since some people have to have them they shouldn't pay twice. Topo maps not so much, so they charge for them. OR some twisted, convoluted reasoning like that.

Thanks for the websites everyone. I will certainly look them over. I would like to start carrying maps as I venture a little more and more out of bounds. Now-lets get down to business mother nature we need a freaking dump!!!
