Participants will visit a library and practice web browsing. Writing a trail description is not just measuring a trail. Learn how to take what is on the ground and turn it into something worth reading. Participants will go on a 3-4 mile hike and must have a pocket tape recorder. Learn to critique maps, what makes a map readable, and how to produce such a map for books and brochures.
