Present Objectives

''Present a topo map of a day hike area that the students aren't likely to know.''

''Describe a travel problem for which a trail is not shown on the map.''

''Ask students to describe possible route.''
{{lesson slide||}}
* How terrain features affect travel route.
** climbing spines/ridge lines
*** often easiest as more open, things fall away to either side
** climbing draws
*** often choked
*** sometimes washed clear
** traversing side hills
*** difficult keeping your footing
** inferring underbrush
*** moisture, streams makes thicker

{{lesson slide||}}
''break trip into segments of bearings and distance''
{{lesson slide||}}
Estimating time:

* 1000 ft elevation gain = 1 hr
* elevation loss = no penalty

* 3-5 km/hr horizontally on trail
* slower if thicker bush

== Aids ==

* 82G/8 for each pair of students
* plenty of table space
* a compass for each pair of students
* pencil for each student
* map quality eraser for each pair
