david whitford san juan college oler student recently we took a trip to grand gulch canyon in utah the backpacking trip was a part of a wilderness pursuits class being offered by san juan college the class is an introductory level course with a focus on developing skills related to planning organizing and executing a backcountry outing some of the topics covered in the class included trip planning and organization low impact camping and permitting menu planning and introductory route finding and navigation for the navigation piece of the course we were lucky enough to have the trails illustrated map of the grand gulch plateau there were so many things about the map that came in handy but the one that stood out to me was that so many of the ruins and springs were well marked not only were they marked but the mileage from our starting point to each spring and ruin was given also as i have discovered hiking in the utah canyons requires a good amount of preparation you can t prepare too much when it comes to knowing where water sources are in a place where water is scarce wilderness pursuits students enjoying jailhouse ruin posted by ankylosaur 0 comments sphere it october 12 2010 san juan college leave no trace training last weekend my class and i headed to the black canyon of the gunnison national park for a leave no trace trainer course the training was a part of a wilderness ethics class being offered by san juan college we were all super pumped to be headed to a beautiful place like the black canyon for a class if you have ever been on a leave no trace trainer course then you will know that the first topic talked about is plan ahead and prepare our instructor mentioned that it might be the most important principle as it will set you up for success for your next outdoor adventure included in the discussion were the hiking backpacking 10 essentials in which a map is one of those ten as a self proclaimed map geek i was pretty excited to see our instructor pull out the trails illustrated black canyon of the gunnison national park and curecanti nra map the map was a vital resource for planning our hikes for the weekend by studying the contour lines and trail distances on the map we were able to determine which trails were the most suited to our group s physical abilities and the class educational purposes the map provided basic details like restroom locations but was also detailed enough to show us what areas of the park required a backcountry permit the map made several appearances during our hikes and quite a few more back at camp while students planned a return trip later this fall david whitford student san juan college posted by ankylosaur 0 comments sphere it september 22 2010 great write up by the oregonian on our new washington cascades trail maps five new national geographic maps complete coverage of washington cascades published tuesday september 07 2010 3 15 am terry richard the oregonian washington s cacades are covered with the release of five new maps this summer by national geographic the rugged mountains of washington are covered from the british columbia border to oregon the maps are sold under the trails illustrated brand new titles this year area mount st helens mount adams goat rocks norse peak william o douglas wilderness areas alpine lakes wilderness glacier peak wilderness and mount baker boulder river wilderness areas they go along with several other titles already in print to complete the coverage north cascades national park mount rainier national park and columbia river gorge national scenic area the full color maps are printed on hefty water proof tear resistant paper national geographic is one of the best mapmakers in the business so the maps meet the highest standards the maps are topographical but they cover such a large area that the contour interval is 50 feet this is a little too big for serious off trail mountain navigation but national geographic also sells state map series on cd roms under the topo brand with 20 foot contour intervals the new printed maps maps are excellent for hiking and driving they show most of the trails and most of the roadside amenities in easy to read formats your map files may already contain u s forest service maps of the areas but these maps often go 15 years or more between updates the new nat geo maps are the best new maps at this time for the areas they cover look for them at stores that sell maps though getting this many new titles in any particular store may be difficult one place that does have them all is the nature of the northwest in portland at 800 n e oregon st suite 965 phone number is 971 673 2331 you can also order them from national geographic cover price is 11 95 for more information

the mosquitoes and black flies are fading winter will come soon it is a great time of year to get outside and also start dreaming of trips that you want to do for next summer i mentioned in a previous blog post how i go about looking into the routes that i am going to embark on so naturally i want to transition to how you all can set out on a long hike here would be a few pointers that i would recommend 1 plan plan plan you haven t planned enough if you haven t thought about a lot of things for your trip the route is one thing and the most obvious however you should also be looking into how frequent and reliable the water sources are how often you might be able to get more food or purchase food at a store the weather for the area during that time of year and fine tuning your gear no doubt you will have some nerves at the start of a trip but if you plan well and are comfortable with your gear going into the trip then that should ease the nerves a little 2 train as your trip begins top take shape you will ideally start to train for the experience beforehand this will help make your trip as enjoyable as possible as well as getting you used to your equipment this will help your feet get ready and if need be callused for you shoes and to break in your shoes and help your hips and shoulders get used to wearing a backpack if you prepare beforehand then you ll be ready to hit the trail when the time comes and the mileage that you planned for the trip won t be daunting the training will also help in your planning because it will let you know what distances and terrain are obtainable for the trip in the time that you have 3 gear up but not too much research the gear that you would like to use on the trip do as much research as possible looking online and asking questions of shop employees but definitely do not just ask shop employees some store employees are great but each has their own personal opinion and they might not even have done the activity or been to the terrain you are looking at doing my typical gear list has many recurring pieces of gear but there are also many things that change depending on location and time of year this helps to keep your pack light by taking only what you will need for example there is no reason to carry a 3lb 20 degree sleeping bag if you are heading out to the high sierras in the summer chances are you can probably get away with a sub 2lb 30 degree sleeping bag especially if you plan on sleeping in a tent because that will add about 10 degrees to your sleep system get your system streamlined and dialed beforehand and then only take what you think you ll need if you don t use it every day then generally you don t need it also try to make things have multiple uses for example i use a half length sleeping pad and then use my backpack for the lower half of my sleeping pad this saves about 8oz on my sleeping pad and makes it more packable since my backpack won t be needed for anything else while i am sleeping 4 go and have fun set off on the trip and have a blast remember that if you are setting out on a longer trip and you think you might need a piece of gear want to swap out a piece of gear or find out shortly into the hike that you aren t using something that you are carrying then you can always mail something that you are carrying back home when you get to a town to resupply on the other hand you could also mail something to yourself by general delivery to the post office in a town if you mail it priority and decide you don t need the gear then don t open it and you can usually forward it elsewhere for no charge this is also a great trick so that you only need to carry the maps that you need for each section and not add weight by carrying maps for the entire trip use these tools to keep your pack light for more info about justin lichter follow him http www justinlichter com posted by ankylosaur 0 comments sphere it older posts home subscribe to posts atom news feed from
