Does anyone have a different scale "elevation profile" other than what is on the National Geographic Map? Thanks!

John Hikes in Rain 05-05-2008, 15:54 I recently developed one of my own for the northern half, for my upcoming section hike. I'm so geeky.......

Hope you have mountain climbing gear to get to Pinnacle Lead. :eek: Hikes in Rain 05-05-2008, 16:23 Yeah, the smoothed lines on Excel didn't help me much there. You should have seen it before I checked that option! Bulldawg 05-05-2008, 16:27 That Pinnacle Lead approach looks really scary!! Hikes in Rain 05-05-2008, 16:50 I did note that for whatever reason, the axis labels didn't come through on the screenshot. Miles on the x-axis, 1000 feet per line on the y-axis. So it's not as bad as it looks (I keep telling myself). jrowling 05-05-2008, 17:33 Thanks Hikes in Rain. Too bad you didn't do that for the South half. Good job. Hikes in Rain 05-05-2008, 19:41 Give me time...... Didn't think of it earlier, but I could post the (3.8 meg!) spreadsheet itself. deeddawg 05-05-2008, 21:53 Check out: http://www.cs.utk.edu/~dunigan/at/gsmnpat.html jrowling 05-06-2008, 11:40 deeddawg, What a great link. Awesome. "Hikes in Rain" got me motivated to do something.....so I scanned all the elevation profiles out of the Southern Appalachians book just for the AT in the Smokies. I put it in a MS Word Doc. 300k doc. If you would like to see it please email me. Both your's and Hikes in Rain are very helpful. Thanks! deeddawg 05-06-2008, 13:20 Thanks, but the site is not mine -- it's just something I found and bookmarked. Hikes in Rain 05-06-2008, 13:54 Scanners and Word...two of my most useful tools. Right up there with a putty knife. |
