Functional, but not the best
I was researching Skyline to the Sea. REI had no other maps in stock, so I grabbed this and its adjacent map. This map is quite difficult to read. *Usually* the detail is there, but it's not always presented in an accessible way. "Cluttered" would not be a bad description. To give it credit, they did manage to come up with a way to make it work (i.e. abbreviating trail names in as usually intuitive letters), but it can still be a handful. I'll keep the map because ultimately I'll hike in many of the areas depicted, but it wouldn't be my first choice.
