Orientation hike for new and prospective members. Instruction will include 10 essentials, Leave no trace principles, hiking pace, risk management, and an overview of the CMC.

Here are the directions to our meeting location in COLORADO SPRINGS.  Turn South on to the entrance road of RRCOS off of HWY 24 (Ridge Road just west of 31st Street) and then go around the roundabout toward the parking lots to the left (south).  At the stop sign, DO NOT take a right into the main parking lot, but go straight through (East) and head to the back parking lot.  I will be in a dark blue 4Runner.  Read or print these directions as lots of folks have a hard time locating us.  Meet at 8:30am.
