Brandon Hills Wilderness
May 1st 2016 11:00am
Organizer: Muriel Gamey (Event Director)
Map: Brandon Hills
This map will provide you with a unique experience on “real” hills and prepare you for the COC’s in the Rockies. This area contains one major ridge-13 contours high (5 m. contours) with many smaller hills, open woods, and a good trail network on the west side. Course lengths have been shortened to compensate for the climb.
The map is on privately owned land and parking will be in their yard. Please treat it respectfully and do NOT bring any dogs. Bring these directions with you as there will not be any road signage.
