Are there 'legal' places to set up a basecamp in the great gulf?
Thanks

Yes, they were eliminated. Some of the campsites marked on your maps are now officially closed. I think that's why they decided to remove them - the fear that they would change too often.poison ivy said:The map in my White Mountain Guide (old edition... 26th, I think?) has the campsites marked. Just curious... has that been eliminated in the maps that come with the newer editions? I haven't updated.
I think the ultimate goal is to eliminate designated campsites in Wilderness areas - finding your own is part of the experience. You should not look at a map to see where campsites are but rather look at the terrain. Of course like many Wilderness concepts not all users will like this.David Metsky said:Yes, they were eliminated. Some of the campsites marked on your maps are now officially closed.
