Canyonlands National Park

"There are hundreds of miles of four-wheel-drive roads in Canyonlands, providing access to various campsites, trailheads and viewpoints in the park's backcountry. These roads range in difficulty from intermediate, like the White Rim Road at the Island in the Sky, to extremely technical routes like Elephant Hill in the Needles. Roads in the Maze District are equally challenging, and the district's remoteness requires a greater degree of self-sufficiency."

About Me

Name: OTBPMaps

Location: Monticello, Utah, United States

I grew-up on several different USFS Ranger Stations in central Idaho during the 1960s. This is where he learned to love the outdoors. Around the age of nine, he went on his first survival trip and began working with his father, Larry Wells, who ran his own wilderness survival program. As early as he can remember, his father taught him how to read a map and to navigate in the backcountry. Monte improved these skills though his service in the military as an army medic. After spending a number of years in the Army National Guard, working in private security, and working in local and federal law enforcement, he returned to college. Monte received a bachelors’ degree in Anthropology /Archaeology. In 2004, Off The Beaten Path Maps was created so that Monte and Larry could share their knowledge of orienteering, archaeology, wilderness logistics, and Monte’s GIS (Global Information Systems) cartography (map making) skills with both the professional industry and outdoor enthusiasts.
