How are your topographic map reading skills? If the answer is “rusty” or “what is a topo map?”, come sit at the map table with us and we’ll teach you the basics! Topo maps show the shape of the earth’s surface with contour lines. These lines represent changes in elevation so we can measure the height of mountains and the steepness of slopes – great info for planning a hike! Past participants have remarked that this old school skill is not only fun but super useful when our electronics fail.
We have room for 5 people so register early to ensure a seat at the table.
