Wilderness Travel Course instructors are offering this FREE intro series to navigation. It’s best if you can take all three, but join for any you can fit into your schedule.

ONLY RSVP if you’re coming for sure. This will help us plan our lesson accordingly.

Oct. 2: Anatomy of a compass.
If you have a mirror compass, bring it. If you don’t, you can buy one at REI or on Amazon. Even if you don’t have one, you can learn w/ours.

We’ll meet in the parking lot, just in front of the community center building. After our compass overview, you can join us for a 5-7 mile moderate hike.

Bring water, sun protection, and snacks. Wear layers and comfortable shoes.

Trail statistics are approximate. For safety purposes always assume they are underestimated. But don’t be disappointed if they are overestimated. Bring more water and snacks than you think you’ll need.

Trail descriptions are based on previous hikes. Current conditions are unknown until arrival. Expect the unexpected and plan accordingly.
