Map & Compass Hike

One of Zeke's scout requirements is to go on a hike and use a map and compass. I thought this was a great opportunity to get out and get close to some autumn scenery, and we picked a hike close by that we had never done before. This particular location is a system of hiking and mountain biking trails, so there are a lot of trail intersections. Since the signage was minimal, we really did need that map!

Good thing I brought another copy of the map, because Nora of course wanted one too. 

We were maybe a little early for great autumn views... there were a lot of green leaves still. However, they were starting to change!

The view from the lookout point was spectacular. 

We live in such a pretty place!

We had a great time and I'm hoping we can go back and explore some of the other trails. Given that the weather seems to be changing, it may have to wait until next year!
