The Ice Age Trail Guidebook 2014 features more than 100 detailed segment-by-segment descriptions and

maps to help you connect with the thousand-mile Ice Age National Scenic Trail. Written for those seeking a

wide range of adventures on the Ice Age Trail, the softcover Guidebook includes these items and more:

- A detailed written description of each segment along the Ice Age Trail’s thousand-mile route.

- A helpful map excerpt for each segment from the Ice Age Trail Alliance’s popular Ice Age Trail Atlas.

- Ratings for each segment on a variety of criteria to help hikers find the Ice Age Trail excursion that’s right

for them.

The Ice Age Trail Atlas 2014 is a set of 105 color, shaded relief–style maps at 1:48,000 scale. In contrast to the

smaller map excerpts in the Ice Age Trail Guidebook 2014, each map in this package is printed on an 8.5” x 11”

sheet and includes not just the Ice Age Trail route but also a wider snapshot of the area around the Trail.

Both books were written and published by the Ice Age Trail Alliance. All proceeds for each book help build and
