"Staying Found" Basic Navigation for Hikers and Backpackers - RETIRED - Tradition Plateau Interpretive Shelter

This hands-on field day will focus on skills and practice to help you become confident using a topo map, compass, altimeter, watch and the features of the terrain around you to maintain a steady awareness of where you are as well as how to find yourself if you get temporarily misplaced, even in the most complicated trail systems.
