Welcome to the Orienteering Challenge!

It's almost snow time at Blackhawk! Get in one last hike adventure with an awesome Orienteering Challenge (and earn a pin!) This hike is about 1.5 miles, and the challenge will take 1-2 hours, depending on your skill level and speed.

Use a compass, geo-coordinates, or a map to find ten clues around Blackhawk Ski Club. Each clue is on a small round cut of wood tied with orange rope with a letter on the back. Once you have all the letters recorded, order your pin below!

1. Choose your Challenge! 

• EASY: For the map challenge, you'll only need a print out of the map and instructions.
• MEDIUM: For the geo-coordinates challenge, you'll need a phone with a map app or another gps equipped device. 
• HARD: For the compass challenge, you'll need a compass (We recommend this one) or an app on your phone. We've included a "Compass How-To" page along with the orienteering instructions, in case this is your first time or you need a refresher!

2. Choose a day and time to go!
