An ode to my favorite map
While I don’t necessarily remember thevery first time I picked up and actually read amap, I do know that I rely on maps regularly. There are too many places with unreliable cell reception to think our digital resources can guide us, unwaveringly. But, with a map in hand and a few other necessary supplies, we can be unstoppable.

What Lizard Customers Say:
"Never enter the woods without a Purple Lizard Map...not just because you might get lost, but because of all the cool things you would otherwise miss!"

What Lizard Customers Say:
"I must say, as a map lover and collector this is by far the nicest map I have ever held in my hands in my entire life. I can tell a ton of time and effort went into producing this map and it really shows."
John in PA
What Lizard Customers Say:
"When I first started hiking I used AllTrails and Guthook for everything. Well, let me just say going on adventures with a paper map is about a million times more fun and a way more Immersive experience. I can't recommend @purplelizardmaps enough. These maps are incredible and I wish there was one for every place I explore."
