topo map for cactus to clouds hike

[tvs]

New hiker to the area -- looking to do "cactus to clouds" hike next week-- was wondering where do you pick up a topo map for the hike??????

As far as I know, the trail is not marked on any published maps. The photo below shows a GPS trace of the route. However, please read the discussions on this Web site concerning the hike -- current conditions, navigational difficulties near the top, dangers of descending into the heat of Palm Springs, etc. There is a lot of great information available. Depending upon your experience level, it may make the most sense to hike it with someone the first time. Cy and others on this board are easy to suck into such enterprises.

AlanK to the rescue!
