Orienteering Class
Learn how to use a map and compass.
About this Event
Do you know how to use a compass to find your way? Or how to find where you are on a map? You will after this class!
Join Pepper Canterbury, the Hunting and Angling Coordinator for Colorado Parks and Wildlife, as she teaches you to find your way with a map and compass (aka orienteering)!
The class will begin in the Columbine Room at our Visitor Center where we will spend time getting comfortable reading a map. From there, we will transition to Blue Grouse trail just down the road. We'll be hiking approximately 3 miles total and practicing our orienteering skills along the way (the views aren't too shabby either!).
This is a 4 hour class. Please come prepared with water, food, appropriate clothing and layers, sunscreen, bug spray, and any other supplies you may need for the duration.
A park pass is required for this event. If you do not have one, please plan to purchase one at the Visitor Center prior to the event.
