Topo Trail Maps

 Discontinued the separate Topo maps begun last week in favour of a combined topo and trail map which we feel will be more useful to the hiker. To date hikes L01, L02, L03, L10, L11 have been converted to the new Topo Trail Maps. Others will follow and new maps will use the new maps. We wanted to do this for a long time but the maps just became available.
