Follow an adventurous course through the Bosque! Using a compass and a map, learn how to set a bearing and navigate to hidden destinataions. Fun for all ages and families. 

While most geocachers rely on the GPS for navigation, map and compass navigation skill to supplement your GPS device. It is also useful for certain types of geocaches which require waypoint projections. This Ranger led activity will help learn the basics. After you learn your skills, come find some of the 20+ geocaches already in the park.
