Galbraith Mt. Route Maps

MAPS ARE great, but there are so many trails on Galbraith Mt. that it's sometimes hard to know which way to go, even if you've got a map in your hands.

To try to simplify the process, GalbraithMt.com is pleased to provide our exclusive Route Guide Maps. These custom maps string trails together for a particular level rider and a particular duration of ride. To further aid you, we have organized the routes according to difficulty using the rating system common in alpine skiing, with the green circle denoting the easiest, the blue square denoting more challenging, the black diamond denoting difficult, and the double black diamond denoting extreme and hazardous. 

You can study the maps online, or print them out and take them up on the mountain with you. No need to worry if they get trashed, because you can always get another one, right here.
