Dupont trail map?

Does anyone know where I can get a complete map of Dupont?  Headed up there this weekend, and looking for suggestions of good flowy trails, maybe like Sherman, Beatty, etc.  Would rather ride easier trails, and ride all day, than ride monsters and be dead tired after half the day.   

I found this site, but is separate maps for each:

Suggestions so far are:

Ridge line
Burnt mountain
Air strip
Reasonover
Turkey Knob

Thanks for the information.

Pisgah Map co. Makes a good one. You can even download it to your phone using the Avenza Map PDF app. if you have an android or iPhone.  Costs about $6. Whats cool about the app is that it uses your phones GPS(without using data/cell service) to locate you on the map. Keeps you from getting lost haha.

Or you can buy a nice paper copy from any area outfitter(REI, The Hub, Mast, etc.). On the back if the map they have "suggested rides" with turn by turn directions. I highly recommend it Smiley

They started publishing free Dupont maps this year.  Look for them at local restaurants up in the Brevard area.  Most trails in Dupont are not death marches like you would find over in Pisgah, so no worries there.  Trails you should include in your outing are:

Flowy downhill trails:
Airstrip
Ridgeline
Pine Tree
Reasonover Creek 

Trails with a vew:
Cedar Rock
Big Rock

Toughest downhill trails 

Burnt Mountain clockwise
Cedar rock counter clockwise

All trails will need some amount of climbing to get to the to of the downhill sections, but none cant be done in the middle ring if you are in shape.....

Now connecting all of these up in one day may be difficult without doing 30 mils or so while keeping feet dry.

Do what I did a few years back.....buy the map at The Hub in Brevard, then ask one of the guys there to hook you up on a good loop. They gave me some great advice. They marked up the map with the direction to take. It flowed very nicely.

Thanks for all of the great suggestions.  Stopping at the Hub is a great idea and I think we will do that.  If anyone wants to meet us up there, we plan on being at the Hub at 10am Sunday when they open.
