This Event has no scheduled dates at this time. It last occurred on Saturday, February 24, 2024.
Event Description:
Join the Tahoe Rim Trail Association for a day in the classroom and field to learn basic map and compass skills in the winter. This course will teach you one of the most basic and essential outdoor skills- navigation without relying on a battery. Students can expect a morning in the classroom and then hitting the outdoors for hands-on practice.
Objectives include map nomenclature and meaning of contour lines, compass basics, and orienteering to find one’s position with field practice. Knowing how to use a map and compass will greatly reduce your chances of getting lost, especially in the winter when you can’t see the trail.
