Course conditions:

The woods are open and leaves are covering most of the trails as well as some of the cliffs and boulders.

Use caution around the cliffs and boulders as they can be slick when dry but with rain in the forecast they can be very slick.
                              
With the geology of the park with the ridges surrounding the main valley area there is more climb than at most of our other event locations.

 What is Orienteering?

(from the Orienteering USA website.)

Orienteering is a competitive international sport that combines racing with navigation. It is a timed race in which individual participants use a specially created, highly detailed map to select routes and navigate through diverse and often unfamiliar terrain and visit control points in sequence. Courses also can be enjoyed as a walk in the woods, with difficulty levels from beginner to expert offered at most events.
