Join us on a casual hike to explore the towering cliffs and natural beauty of this unique location. The hike will center around the Crooked River valley and cover roughly 3 miles of stop-and-go walking and talking about the area's unique features. The trail drops down to the river and winds along the high cliffs where sport climbers hug the walls. Water fowl and birds of prey frequent this oasis in the high desert plateau of central Oregon. Upon our return to the parking lot, we will climb out of the valley and up through the pines to our starting point.

Cell phones and GPS devices can serve as excellent navigation tools in the backcountry…but what happens when batteries die or your equipment goes on the fritz? You pull out your map and compass and stay the course! This hands-on workshop takes a deep dive into all of the basics of classic map-and-compass navigation techniques. We’ll get comfortable with the parts and functions of modern mirrored compasses, learn how to turn a topographic map from a flat piece of paper to a magical representation of the 3D world, and then we’ll put it all together with a series of fun challenges out in the field. Put together, these skills don’t just help you figure out where you are at any given moment, but also help you develop confidence stepping off trail, locate sweet campsites and travel to interesting places just off the beaten path, identify peaks and other features on the landscape, and show off to all of your friends (we kid, we kid - sort of). No experience necessary and all equipment is provided - just bring your curiosity!

Delish food awaits you at the end of your first big day!

Join us by the campfire, snack on some delicious  S'mores, reflect on the day and get stoked for tomorrow.
