This clinic is designed for graduates of the Staying Found course interested in practicing their navigation skills. Everyone will have a chance to lead a different section of the trail. Don't worry if you're still struggling to understand the concepts - that's what this hike is for.
We will hike the Talus Rocks Trail, one of the routes from the Staying Found Field Day. We will break into two groups. One group will hike the route in one direction; the other group will hike the route in reverse.
HOMEWORK QUESTION:
We will be hiking 5 miles at roughly a 2-mile an hour pace. We will leave the trailhead around 9:15 a.m. Add one hour for navigation activities and time for a snack. About what time should we arrive back at the trailhead?
