Stunning, unique art that will blow you away
Calling this a map undersells the insane artistic qualities of this work of art. It's a one of a kind. The intricacies of the topography are stunning but then at a distance it has a pearl essence abstract quality that is equally breathtaking. It's made of the highest quality materials and wall mounting so that it floats beautifully and catches light even better. Could not recommend this enough!!
Works of Art
I have the Mt. Rainier map mounted on aluminum hung in my main hallway and it stops people in their tracks when they pass by. I highly recommend Ramble Maps to add to your own collection or as a gift to someone that embraces the outdoors.
One-of-a-kind Gift
This is probably the most well received gift I have ever purchased for my partner. He was blown away by the style, substance, and sophistication of this beautiful work of art. He spends time every day just standing in front of it and mapping out where he has been, where our house resides (off the map, but within close proximity of the range), and where he wants to go. It's a very special addition to our art collection, and in his words (and this is the highest praise he really gives anything), "it is truly neat".
Would recommend this product wholeheartedly. Selecting the right map for someone means pulling at their emotional heartstrings, while also providing something that will last for the longterm. Must also add that the packaging itself was impressive, and hanging the piece was precise, but challenging! Great service, great product, and would certainly consider buying for others despite a steep price (well worth it in the long run because this is made to last).
"Stunning"
I purchased this map for my husband for his birthday/retirement. He has worked on the North Kaibab and Arizona Strip for 30 years. This map encompasses the vast majority of the area where he has spent most of his life.
The detail of this map is so fine that he can see specific locations across the area and recall events from throughout his career. Upon receiving the map he has spent a little time each day staring at it. His summation is that the map is simply “stunning”. Having the ability to look at this map and bring back memories makes this piece of art priceless to us. Money well spent.
This map is a great piece of art.
As the guy that spent nearly a year on the International Space Station, views of Earth were very important to me, so I’m a big fan of Earth and of course, maps.
My Colorado map depicting my new home state is not only a great relief map but a true piece of art that makes a great addition to our new home.
I love this so much
The color, the details, the ocean floor topography, it's all just beautiful.
Beautiful Detail
I bought this map prior to going on a raft trip through the Grand Canyon. The detail on this map allows me to see the canyon and get to know it about before my trip. And it will be a wonderful reminder of the trip afterwards! The wood backing lets it blend naturally into the decor of my rustic house. I love it!
Gorgeous View of MRV
I received the Mad River Valley resort map. It came very quickly and was pretty easy to hang. Such a cool way of looking at the mountains and a great keepsake for an area that is very special to us.
Wonderful Art Piece!
The map of Colorado looks as good as I'd hoped. It sits in my office and I find myself staring at/day-dreaming of the different ranges. The details pop! Highly professional piece.
good quality, great gift
quality and detail of print were superb, making for a great gift!
Really beautiful map
The map looked good online but it looks even more impressive on our wall.
Absorbing!
Kudos to Ramble for the quality of the padding and packaging, the timeliness of delivery, the production quality of the map, and most of all for the artistry of the cartography. Handsome from across the room, the map becomes more intriguing the closer you get to it. I've spent hours absorbed in it, tracing the trails I've hiked in the canyons, identifying favorite places in the Valley, and plotting travel routes. My only regret: I should have ordered the largest size instead of the smallest.
Great addition to our collection
This map is a beautiful addition to our collection of Texas maps we have displayed in our complex. We have numerous Texas maps displayed dating back to the beginning of Texas as a state, along with other Texas maps. The addition of this map is a beautiful, unique addition. We chose the map on wood as it blends with the other maps displayed. Very nice quality! The entire transaction was easy from ordering through delivery with very good communication and quality shipping. Highly recommend!!
Brilliant!
I'm a b/w landscape photographer, so fairly picky about details. We chose the acrylic version of this map, and it's truly impressive: super sharp, with plenty of contrast. Even though the map is built from topo and other data, it looks like a well-lit photo. Having the light appear to come from the north really highlights the river canyons on the west slope of the Sierra. The underwater details of Lake Tahoe are another nice touch. We live in the area covered by this map, so it is very personal to us.
Great Product
I got this as a gift for my dad, who is IMPOSSIBLE to buy gifts for. He's the kind of guy who reads the Maine atlas for fun, and he was blown away by the detail in this rendering. The aluminum background, with the built-in standoff from the wall is a really nice touch too. He immediately hung it up in the most prominent spot in the house.
Fantastic
Great quality piece with fantastic detail. A real stunner.
Cape Cod Map
The map is a beautiful work of art which I am pleased to display in my home.
As a home owner on Cape Cod, I have an endless stream of house guests, particularly during the summer months, all of whom want to know, where on the Cape are we? The map is detailed enough that I can show them where my home is located. There will be many conversations which take place in front of this map.
MAD RIVER VALLEY...
…looking down on where you live reminds you of where you are. A great picture that keeps life framed and in focus. Well done.
Great for gift!
Bought for a friend who lives in Bend, OR and skis Mt. Bachelor daily. She was ecstatic!
Truly Captivating!
I bought this Vermont map for my daughter as a birthday present. She went to college in Vermont and fell in love with the state. This was perfect for her to hang on her wall and remind her of such a beautiful place. She absolutely loved the gift! Thank you Ramble Maps.
Amazing Quality
This map was a perfect addition to my new office. Great quality and amazing detail.
Uniquely cool
I got the wood mounted option and it's very solid. The detail on the map is very neat. I got this as a gift for someone who has everything and needs nothing. I think he'll really like it.
Amazing
Incredible detail, great quality, arrived in perfect condition. Looks great on the wood. Super easy to hang. Very happy with my purchase!
As promised
Beautifully done! Now hanging prominently where it can be enjoyed by all.
WI Map
It was a gift to my parents whom have lived in WI their entire life and are moving to UT for retirement to be closer to my two younger brothers and grandchildren. This was a memento intended to hang on the wall in their new home in UT to always remember memories that WI brought them in youth and growing together, raising four kids in WI. They loved it, such a unique gift that will make them tear up every time they look at it, in a good way.
A Stunning Rendering of Mars
I'm very impressed with the build quality of this map and how great it looks. I was a little hesitant to pull the trigger on the face mounted acrylic, but it really does add a sense of depth to the image.
Wild Detail
This map is a true work of art. I bought it for my dad as a gift. He's been skiing at Whiteface for as long as I can remember, and nearly lost his mind when he saw it. The detail is absolutely wild! I would highly recommend Ramble Maps to anyone looking for something truly unique.
Perfect Gift!
Arrived super quickly and very well packaged. Everything high quality and print is sharp and detailed. Looks amazing!
Love the map
First off, the packaging was stout and delivered the map in great shape.
The detail and clarity in the map is awesome.
Very happy with the purchase.
Stunning
I bought this art piece as a gift for a friend, and he loves it!
It will be displayed in his airbnb here on the Big Island so all his guests can marvel at where they are.
The detail is incredible!
Amazing Detail
Our Ramble Map of South Dakota is amazing! We have learned more than we ever knew about the South Dakota landscape by the detail & imagery of our Ramble Map. We placed it above the fireplace mantle in our great room in Black Hills of SD and it speaks quality as the conversation piece of the room.
I bought the map for a gift. It was very well received.
Christmas gift
Beautiful! I can actually see my beach!
Beautiful
The print is beautiful and iridescent. I worried that the aluminum would be too heavy to easily mount, but it's actually very light.
Real nice product, well done... considering i have a place that looks out at pico... brings it full circle, plus I'm a map guy.
Beautiful Map!
The map is beautiful! The order process was simple and I loved the great communication throughout the process. Will definitely order again!
Fantastic Map!
While more of a photo than a map, this piece is a wonderful reminder of time spent on Kauai. I’m very happy with the decision to hang it on the wall in my house.
Beautiful!
Capitol Reef is my husband's favorite national park. I bought this map on aluminum to hang on our large covered porch. It is stunning.
Amazing Detail!
The New Jersey map is a great addition to my collection. Made out of aluminum. The contrasting colors accentuate the detail. Looking to get New York next!
It's great. A present for Christmas!
My husband has yet to see it but I love it! Very unique present. I loved the option of this type of map.
Love it!
Amazing color.
Colorado map
The map is fantastic. Great quality and ready to hang on the wall. The excellent customer service for specific order requests was also very much appreciated. Well done!
Amazing Products!
Great stuff!
Awesome detail. And easy to hang!
really cool
super cool, great detail. beautiful colors.
Amazing
The first art we hung in our new Texas home.
I think this may be all we need.
Cape Cod Map
Awesome. It finished up my new home.
Colorado map
The map is fantastic. Great quality and ready to hang on the wall. The excellent customer service for specific order requests was also very much appreciated. Well done!
Great Map!
The map is just as good as I had hoped. Excellent detail and quality.
Really nice
Looks even better than expected. Nice mounting setup as well. The little rubber feet on the back to go against the wall are a nice touch. Well packaged, too. My only regret is not buying the largest size 😀
Amazing
Our recent addition to our home on Cape Cod is simply amazing.
Like it!
Great piece of work! It is visually stunning and the acrylic finish really gives it a nice depth. The supports are sturdy and mounting was easy.
I'm not sure having the park boundaries delineated by light and dark helps the picture. Not a criticism as I could see it and I certainly knew that’s what I was buying. I have noticed on some other park maps in the color series the jagged and artificial boundaries of the parks make for a discordant visual effect. Having a whole photo in light with maybe an overlay boundary line might make the picture flow better.
But I love the quality of the work. It looks great and gets lots of comments.
Love it!
Amazing Detail
I love my map. The detail of the state is amazing and the quality of the product is top notch!
Great Quality
I purchased the California relief for my husband's birthday. He was absolutely thrilled and it hangs proudly in his office at home. Beautifully done!
Beautiful map of a beautiful place
We live on the Olympic Peninsula and I'm an alpinist (sometimes) so I had a hard time deciding between this any many of the mountain maps. We love this map!!!! So cool with the jet black of the ocean and you can even make out sea stacks off the coast. We can clearly see where we live and where we play. It looks great in our Olympic home in the forest. Maybe one of those mountain maps (Denali?) will go in the office :-)
Highly recommend!!!
Fascinating
The resolution of detail and clarity of the printing on this is outstanding. Terrain through foliage, forests, neighborhoods is clearly visible. I can stare at this for hours.
Perfect Addition to Our Ski House
We were looking for the perfect piece to go over our bed that represents Vermont. Nothing better than a picture of Mt. Snow and Haystack to fit there.
Very pleased, have gotten compliments
I mounted by 24" x 30" Ramblemap of Texas on my back patio (under an overhang, protected from the sun) and it looks great. Have gotten many compliments. You were up front about aluminum (the less expensive option) having more reflection, so I expected that. If I'd wanted to spend more (I didn't, it's pricey) I could've gotten the same map with less reflection but perhaps a little less sharpness. Regardless, I'm happy.
Love the detail
Miss my home state, this brings me closer.
Unique way for me to re-attach to my home state and show off!
So Cool!
So pleased with my AZ map - very cool and looks better in person than on the inter webs!
The map is even more beautiful than we expected.
Very cool
It's beautiful.
NYS
A++++ Beautiful rendering! The glacial features and finger lakes are stunning.
Cool maps
Nice detail and interesting take on the world.
USA
A++++ This one is hung right above my desk. People ask about it all the time!
Awesome
The detail, quality and framing are exceptional. We couldn’t be happier with our new artwork.
Beautiful piece!
So much fine detail on this map it truly is a work of art. I love the floating 'Frame'. Great job Ramble making such a unique and awesome product!
Great conversation piece, incredible details
We've got the Mad River Resorts map displayed prominently at the Featherbed Inn in Waitsfield, Vermont. Our guests love to study it and share their ski stories. The detail and clarity are incredible. We are so glad we purchased this!
AZ
A++++ The AZ volcanic geology jumps right out at you on this one! Amazing!
Gorgeous detail
Love my new map of my home state of Maine. This view is like a geologic history, showing clearly where the glaciers receded leaving large river system, the rocky coast and the tail end of the Appalachian Trail at Katahdin. Love this rendition of Maine.
Exactly as described
This map is full of detail that 'pops' differently in each light as the day progresses. Already a conversation piece, I keep a laser pointer nearby so I can point out locations and features. I was initially hesitant about the price, but it has proven to be well worth the money.
This was a great gift!
I had been looking at the Ramble Maps for several months, thinking my son and daughter in law would like one, and I finally took the plunge and got them the Mad River Valley Terrain map. I peeked at it before I gave it, and loved it. And when they opened it, they also were super enthusiastic about it, and hung it right away! The map is really lovely, and someday maybe I will get one for me! Thanks especially for the help getting the map to me in time for my son's birthday! That was really special. Five Stars to Ramble!
Stunning Map
I got it for my built in bookshelf and it really makes the space looks amazing.
Loving my MSH map
My husband gave me Ramble's Mt. St. Helen's map for a holiday gift. It's stunning! The topography is breath taking and the aluminum mounting is really unique. What a way to remember and study this unique place. If you love a map lover, they'll love this map!

Beautiful centerpiece over our mantel!
We love our shiny new centerpiece - it’s perfect above our mantel. We chose the aluminum map, which really picks up the light and highlights the elevation changes. It came well packaged, arrived quickly and was very easy to install. I would highly recommend Ramble Maps!
The Contrast is Striking
There isn’t a better showcase of the Olympic Peninsula out there. This map does such a great job at highlighting both the mountains and the river canyons with its focus on dramatizing the region’s contrasting elevations. I had an issue with the map’s shipping, and Matt replied within TEN MINUTES on a weekend and took care of everything immediately. This is definitely a business worth supporting in the future!
A.MAZ.ING.
This map blew us away. We've been staring at it obsessively since we received it as a gift. The quality is top notch and the detail is incredible. It was packaged meticulously with no damages to the wooden frame or map.
Being able to see all of our mountain ranges in this way is really cool. My husband is a mountain guide in Idaho (and geology enthusiast), so he has loved staring at this map and getting a visual of the geological history of how the mountains, deserts, and valleys were formed in Idaho (i.e. a curved valley indicates a mountain range formed by a glacier... stuff like that). The detailed geology of the map can even show how weather patterns have affected parts of the state differently. Plus, you can point out all the rad places you've backcountry skiied over the years...and then see all the places you still want to explore!
Anyways, if you are a geology geek, weather geek, or mountain geek, you will love these maps.
Gorgeous!
Perfect fit, perfectly beautiful. These are really clever and stunning pieces.
Great
Beautifully rendered map. We love it. To be sure, they are expensive. But in this case, you truly get what you pay for.
Excellent!
A unique and stunning 'map'!
Awesome
Love the map! Looks amazing in the space and gives you context of the state to its surrounding area, which is a cool aspect.
I love it
The detail is amazing. Needs good light to truly shine. I'm investing in some.
The big picture
Looks awesome and elegant!
Beautiful and better than expected
Love it! Very cool!
Ramble Jay Peak
Impressive and a conversational piece...first time viewers give a 'WOW' and deservedly so. It fits perfectly in our ski home, love it!
US Map
The map is terrific. It’s design is unique and shows off its topography. It gives it almost a 3D look.
Been there
I love this map. Realistic image reminds me so much of being there, outdoors, great times.
Mansfield Region Map
I am delighted by the quality of this map. I got it for my husband as a gift and as soon as he opened it we spent nearly an hour with our kids pointing out spots where we’ve hiked, skied, etc. I chose the wood backing and it is solid and rustic in appearance- as promised. A truly interesting and unique addition to our home.
Champlain Valley Map
We are so happy with our map of the Champlain Valley! It hangs in our mud room so we see it as soon as we walk in the house. Its the perfect addition!
Beautifully Detailed
Missing California
Arrived in perfect order, very well boxed. Opened to relieve a wonderful clear, sharp capture of my home state. Showed some of my new neighbors and each and every one of them was blown away by this piece. This is a great addition to my wall art. So, so glad I have this piece...
He loves it!
Bought the Yellowstone Park map for my sweetie, never having seen it in person. Fortunately, it is great! The detail clearly shows every feature. It’s exactly as your website states - lightweight aluminum and easy to hang. Thank you for such an excellent piece!
Note from Ramble:
This map has changed since this review.
Awesome Maps!
I purchased the Colorado map and the pictures don't do it justice! The details in the map are amazing and it looks like there are actual ridges and contours. Also, the customer service is out of this world. I plan to purchase more maps.
Thank you Matt.
Beautiful!
I bought this for my wife's birthday. She is an avid NH hiker. She has hiked all 48 4000 footers (multiple times) and is currently 60% of the way through redlining.
She was amazed by the contrast and instantly broke out her hiking maps and google maps and started to locate her favorite mountains.
We have it hung where we can see it all the time.
We received the map during the pre-holiday rush and UPS wasn't as gentle with the package as they normally would have been, so there was damage to the map. I sent an email to Ramble customer service on a Sunday and received a very quick response from Matt, within an hour. I was expecting a form response with a 'we will get back to you with in 24-48 hours', but actually got a human. Matt quickly told me how he would have a new map shipped with extra shipping material to protect the map.
Within a week or so we got our new pristine map and couldn't be happier with the quality of the map or the responsiveness of the company.
And just to cap the whole thing off, when UPS delivered the new map, we watched them deliver it to our neighbor, while we got the package meant for them. After UPS left, I quickly went over and exchanged the packages.
Thank you Ramble.
Tennessee Map
I am super impressed with this map - especially the mounting. It comes ready to hang - completely. I am ready to order my next one - you cant go wrong. These maps work as detailed and informative map, and at a distance as a piece of art.
Better than expected
Adirondack Great Range Map
This was a gift for my son as we had hiked this range many years ago. The simplicity of presentation, clarity and craftsmanship are top notch. He was impressed. Thank you!
Eye Catcher
Our map is definitely an eye-catcher in our home. I have it hanging on a wall at eye level in the living room near a corner that leads to bedrooms and bathrooms. It's a great spot for this map in terms of traffic and light. I opted for the wood-mounted map, but I think the aluminum or acrylic would also be great looking in our contemporary style home. We gave the same map to our map-loving friend for Christmas because he loves ours so much.
Absolutely beautiful
My husband LOVES maps, and when I finally got to see this opened on Christmas, I was surprised by the detail. We got the resin-covered one, and it's just gorgeous. He's already looking at other ranges to buy. :)
Great Product!
We gave this as a gift to avid skiers and residents of Little Cottonwood Canyon and they absolutely loved it. Will certainly buy more of these unique distinctive maps in the future.
Home Office Capstone
My Ramble USA map was a great finishing touch to my renovated home office. It blends great with my black and gray highlights desk and gray herringbone sofa. People's eyes go straight for the map. And the questions come rapid fire. I know some of the answers and wing the rest. Ramble On!
Memories
This map now hangs in one of my exam rooms in my office in NJ. It is a constant reminder of adventures as a young man on the peninsula fishing, hiking and getting 'lost'. Amazing detail and memories.
Love it
Artfully packed, as beautiful as expected, with solid hanging bracket attached. It calls for a prominent wall with good flood lighting.
Beautiful and Crisp
I love this high resolution, beautiful map.
Stunning
This map is so amazing. The contours are so detailed and vary with the light. It’s almost alive looking. My husband has been hiking the 48 peaks over 4000’, so I gave this to him for a gift. He loves it!
Quality is Extremely Professional
I love the presentation and the quality of it. My first reaction was, "Wow!" As a photographer I know it's hard to see a sample online and then grasp how it translates to the finished printed product, but the quality of the print is extremely professional. I was also blown away by how sturdy the mounting was and there's nothing flimsy or low quality about it. When I explained it to my wife before hand she thought it sounded like a cool print, but then in person she was likewise very surprised with the quality.
The detail is every bit as impressive printed as it was in the image files online. You can even make out individual tree species in the beaver ponds south of Mount Mansfield in the print I got. The resolution has to be extremely high to get the level of detail shown and the shading makes it easy to see even very small terrain changes. The detail in the forest is the best part though, with the color showing even different stands of trees that vary in short distances.
The quality is very high. Crisp lines on everything, nothing even close to blurry or smeared borders. The wood mounting is solid! That is one heck of sturdy mount. Gives it a nice 2-3 inch barrier from wall as well.
Mt Mansfield looks as good as it always does. It is front and center in the image, showing all the drainages that cascade down off the ridgeline, along with the ski trails. Almost looks like a straight satellite image with how detailed it is.
Some of the drainages flow slightly differently than I thought in person. It's a very cool way to visualize how water moves down the flanks of Vermont's highest peak.
Mansfield is a special place to me, so it's great to be able to see it in this new medium on a daily basis in my living room.
Mad River Valley Map
Purchased for my son who grew up skiing in the Mad River Valley. He loves it.
I so appreciate your excellent customer service in replacing the original map that arrived damaged during shipping.
CRBM
It was stunning when we unwrapped it. I just wished I could have afforded a bigger version so the detail was larger. But it is wonderful and she is totally happy with the incredible piece of art. She says it’s perfect for her office!!
Best gift this year!
This was such a fun and unique gift this Christmas. Already shopping for the next map to start our collection.
Thank you!
Striking
The high resolution and contrast of this image is both aesthetically and intellectually pleasing to behold.
Sweet Map!
Our map looks great! My wife was surprised and loves it!
Gorgeous Grand Canyon Map
This image is beautiful and allows for accurate visual assessment of the terrain in the Grand Canyon area. I purchased this as a gift for my geologist husband who is one of the primary geologic mappers of this incredible terrain. Needless to say, this beautiful, ready to hang map is right over his desk as a daily inspiration. Though many lift their eyes to the 'hills from whence cometh their strength'--- some look to canyons! What's YOUR place??!!

Beautiful Map
Purchased this map of Arizona for my business suites. It is very eye catching and a becomes a conversation piece with my local clients in AZ.
Awesome
Arrived promptly without damage. Looks great and was easy to hang. Living near the border of ID/WY I really like that they included the surrounding areas of other states.
Excellent
Hi res, beautifully mounted, great service. Thank you!
Cape Cod map
Crisp, colorful, and perfect
Custom Tahoe Map
Map is fantastic, I made a special request to have it mounted horizontally and the team at Ramble made it happen. Thank you for your help!
Great Service
Been meaning to write this review for a while. I ordered a map for a buddy that climbed Denali, but it never showed up. Matt at Ramble was awesome. He answered my email within minutes, contacted Fedex and (in the end) made sure my buddy got his Xmas present.
My buddy very, very happy with the map and I was really happy with the service.
Amazon would have screwed me. And Matt took care of everything.
Support small businesses! They care about their customers!
Love it
We love this map and are planning to get another one. The only thing I would change (if I could) is that the map produces a glare from the hallway light. But we love it and can't wait to get another one!

Excellent
Recipient loved the gift. These maps are incredibly detailed. Beautifully mounted.
Beautiful!
The level of detail is amazing.
Idaho
Superbly detailed map of one of my favorite states. I can make out exact locations that I am familiar with. Nice to add to my Ramble collection.
Amazing Detail!
Very nice maps with great detail. Now I need to buy one for myself.
Aesthetically pleasing detail
State map offers detailed geographical resolution, in the acrylic version
Utah Aluminum
Beautiful map. Superb detail of topography. I'm collecting all of my favorite states.
Just as advertised. Couldn't be more pleased!
This is one of those times when the product as advertised is exactly the product as delivered. The map looks great on my study wall and I love just looking at it.
Glacier Peak - beautiful!
Given as a gift, the Glacier Peak map is simply beautiful. The resolution and sharp detail draw your eye!
Customer service was exceptional.
Top Notch!
The map looked just as expected from photos online, but was also packaged impeccably for transport. I was so impressed that this unframed artwork shipped flat and very well protected from any potential shipping mishaps. Great company and unique product - thank you!
The Perfect Gift!
I am beyond thrilled with the Ramble Map I purchased for my husband! The area of the map I purchased was particularly sentimental for our family and I couldn’t be more blown away by the quality and craftsmanship!
Also, Ramble Maps has the BEST customer service I’ve ever come across!!! Thank you Ramble Maps! I look forward to my next purchase from your wonderful company!
Attention to detail
The print on aluminum looks great. The mounting option is great as well, as it provides depth from the wall. Print is super high gloss, so it almost appears glass-like.
Product was ordered, created, and shipped in an extremely efficient manner. I will consider purchasing the Adams print in the future.
Beautiful and one of a kind
My brother got me this map to celebrate my completion of the Colorado trail earlier this year. The details are stunning; I feel like I could look at it for hours. He got the kind printed on metal and it is really striking. I have it hanging up behind me in my office so everyone sees it while I'm on zoom--I love showing it off.
Maine Map Aluminum
Very clear, requires good lighting, and has a reflective look to it, so no direct light, but a well lit room.
It will brighten up any wall and attract onlookers, tell them not to touch, easy to hang too.
Stunning
Fantastic and stunning 40x30 California map on metal. It is beautiful and an inspiration to this California backpacker.
Best Zoom Background Ever!
We absolutely love our Cascade Range Ramble map. It looks beautiful up on the wall in our office.
After living in the PNW for 5 years, it's such an incredible daily reminder of all our favorite mountains and adventures. The spine of the Cascades is so well articulated and we love that each of the volcanoes pops out at you. They are all so uniquely shaped and this map shows them to perfection.
The map is incredible
The level of detail lets you pick out lines, landmarks and features that you ski or hike on. I have even discovered back-county lines from looking at it.
It's more than a map though, its a beautiful piece of art that really stands out (literally and figuratively) from all my other art. I have gotten tons of 'Whoa! Is that Stowe!? That's awesome! Oh look, there's (fill in trail, line, feature here).' from people seeing it for the first time.
Favorite piece of art I own
I often find myself just staring at my map of Mt. mansfield, blown away by the detail on this beautiful piece of art. I can't wait to have a house full of Ramble Maps reminding me of my favorite places on earth. Well done.
Great but pricey
I absolutely love the map and it looks fantastic hanging prominently in our living room! Visitors like it too. I think there's a good chance I may order a different map to pair with the first but that will have to wait for now. My only issue is that my version, the Face Mounted Acrylic Glass is a bit pricey at $500. I did freely pay that, though.
Mt. Adams
LOVE IT! Brings me right back to the two successful summits I've done on this mountain and makes me realize how big an accomplishment it was.
I asked for Olympus Mons
When ramble posted a list of mountains, I complained that they didn't have Olympus Mons. They got back to me and said it was a good idea, and I suggest they reach out to the jpl art department, which does publicity collaborations for space projects. I don't know whether they reached out, but I do know that they delivered within a month. I have not yet decided where to hang my piece, but I am a very impressed with it.
Amazing
We find ourselves looking at this all the time. We can’t actually tell where things are cause there are no roads or landmarks. We are buying them for every house we have in each state!
CO River Basin
Love it, it looks great in my home, I never get tired of looking at it!
Georgia Elevation Map
Love it - great conversation piece for my office!
Love it. Very cool.
Outstanding. Love it. Thanks!
Beautiful and Thought Provoking
So much incredible detail you can truly stare at it for hours. Everyone who walks into our house always comments on our ramble and asks where we got it. Customer service was also great with any questions I had on specific maps and the different printing options they offer. Excited for a great ski season exploring our local mountains!
Love it!
Lake Champlain Valley - Modified
Beautiful map as are all the Ramble maps. Like the modified version I got which shows the immediate lake area detail better. Thanks much.
Generally very pleased
Beautiful and practical. As a backcountry skier, I really appreciate having the trail networks on this map. Its makes it easier to to decipher location relativity. It would be really cool if it came with a digital file showing topographic lines as well. Then you could really locate off trail areas with precision (exact elevation is missing from the map but I understand why, as it would likely detract from the aesthetic value).Two things of note regarding the trails on the map.1. Oddly the Long Trail, and the Catamount Trail are abruptly cut off about 8 and 5 inches respectively from the left side edge of the map. Not sure if this is just on mine or is the case on all. Either way, it is the only point of contention that I have with an otherwise excellent piece of art.
2. The CHNSA trails that stretch up into the saddle between Bald Hill and Crows Foot are not 100% accurate. The map shows a straight trail and a switchback trail. There is only a switchback trail for part of this stretch. minor detail - far less noticeable. And to be fair, that area has seen some noticeable changes in recent years.
Miss. Map
The map looks very nice. I was really impressed with the detail and wood placement of the map. The process of shipping and steps taken to protect the package was very impressive as well. Very pleased and satisfied in Madison Mississippi.
Great
The only problem I had was one corner was bent. Probably during shipping. It is hung and looks great.
Note from Ramble:
We will gladly replace any map damaged during shipment.
Love this piece
For our new home in Sun Valley, I ordered the Idaho map. My husband loves it and I know our guests will appreciate seeing the geography of this beautiful state.
Incredible service
After I left a review about a bent map, they reached out to me and offered to send a replacement. They did not even require that I send the existing map back! I can't help but be amazed at this.
Thank you, Matt!
Love the map; choose the material carefully
I have the 40" x 30" Acrylic, which is great, though I wish I had paid more attention to the materials page that warns about reflections. Now that I have it installed the reflections of my light fixtures are stronger than I was expecting. Still looks great though.
New York Map
Love it overall. Wish some of the lakes stood out more (darker/more contrast).
Some Recommendations
I would prefer that the west side of the state not be shaded as dark as it is. Also, I live just north of the California border (in Oregon), and would prefer that that border area not be shaded dark, or at least not as dark as it is.
perfect addition to our mudroom
we had a big, blank wall in our mudroom, and we were looking for something make it more appealing. we wanted something that would fill the space nicely, but also have some meaning. you can see mt mansfield from our house, and we like to go there to hike and ski, so a ramble map fit the bill perfectly! we got the metal framing, and it's amazing. you can stare at the details for hours!
Absolutely beautiful!
Very nice
Solid Map
If you love maps, you can't go wrong with a Rambler. Thanks!
RB. Burlington Vermont
It is a nice, high quality map. It might be better with a map key and some mountain peaks designated. Overall, I highly recommend this product.
Good Stuff
Like it!
The map is beautiful but I thought it was a 3-D map.
Beautiful but bent corner
The map is beautiful. I got the largest size. Unfortunately the bottom left corner arrived bent, which mars the otherwise perfect map. It’s too much trouble after Christmas and everything 2020 to send back or spend the energy to fix. Trying to bend it back myself will likely make it worse. So, 5 stars for a beautiful map, 1 star for damaged product.
Note from Ramble:
We replaced Phyllis' map after learning about the damage. We will replace any map damaged during shipment, just email us at hello@ramblemaps.com to let us know and we'll take care of the rest.
Tahoe Detail
I recently received the Tahoe map 24"x36". It was delivered within 2 weeks of ordering. Loving the detail of the region I live in and have played in for years. It provides me plenty of relief details that I am constantly comparing to topo maps for references and helping me to understand the extremities of some of my favorite play spots. I am really curious as to how the other detail quality maps compare (it is quite different once you have it in front of you).
Pretty good... as in Not Bad
The initial impact is strong, which is what you want with a graphic such as this. But up close, the resolution and topographical relief seems oddly lacking. Areas of vegetation appear slightly 'furry.' It's not bad by any means, but I gave four stars because I wasn't wowed. Don't get me wrong, I've hung it in a prominent location, and several people remarked 'holy crap!' when they realized what they're looking at, which is not bad
Note from Ramble:
Our aluminum maps print at around 200 dpi, when viewed within 12 inches a person with good eyesight can see some fuzziness. For our highest resolution prints, our wood and acrylic options print at around 300 dpi. All of our options are designed to look sharp on the wall from a normal viewing distance.
Map of Massachusetts
I thought it would be in color. So, a bit disappointed that it’s black and white. The detail, however, is great.
Very nice
A little disappointed given the price
The colors are great, but because this is satellite imagery I thought the resolution would be better, but the details are pretty blurry when you look at it up close.
Michigan
I was disappointed. I never saw it, because it had not been posted at the time I decided to purchase it. It is certainly high quality, but barely any detail - which I had assumed would be there.
Sorry.
I have not seen the VT map, not until XMas at my daughter's. The Sugarbush map I probably should have gotten for my son.
Poor Resolution
Disappointed that the resolution of this map 'in person' is significantly lower than what I expected based on the online images and marketing materials. My old-fashioned, 3D plastic topo maps and detalied topo flat maps of the Tetons are of better quality, clarity, and usefulness. A poor price-to-value ratio in my opinion, given the cost of the map.
