MT Rogers Navigation Trip

I'm just back from MT Rogers, were we had a great 3 day class learning and practicing map and compass skills in the backcountry. The fall leaves were spectacular, we enjoyed two days of hiking along Wilson Creek, Quebec Branch, and Wilburn Ridge, and our campfire discussions were fascinating.

During this outing we covered a wide range of topics in class around the campfire. I'll update our Backpacker Book list to reflect the books and movies we discussed.

Thanks to all who participated! Feel free to comment on the trip here. I'll also be interested in your thoughts on other outings that you would like us to run.

I'll look forward to seeing you on the trail soon.

Great trip--the weather was perfect and clear with an amazing mountain view. Getting to see the wild pony was also a treat.

Learned some useful info on map & compass, but going to need lots of practice!
