About this course
This practical course turns map and compass basics into everyday hiking skill. You will learn how to plan a day hike that fits your fitness, how to build a navigation kit that fits in your pack, how to stay oriented on the move with thumbing and handrails, and how to read trail markers and junctions so you never miss a turn. Each lesson ends with drills you can practice on a local trail, so the skills land before you need them in the wilderness.
