    Notes from the Course Setter: Thanks to Doug, we now have a combined North and South map of Manitou Lake, and I am taking advantage of that with a full list of courses. Parking is on the North map, same as last year.

    This is proper back country orienteering. If your only experience is in Denver-area parks then I suggest you drop down at least a class. Talk to someone at the registration desk if you are unsure which course to do.

    The Green, Red, and Blue courses will cross barbed wire fences. Several paths and tracks are overgrown, and this includes some used by White and Yellow.

  • Beginner Instruction: Basic Beginner Instruction will take place at 1:00 pm in the vicinity of the Registration table. When you register, let a volunteer know that you would like Beginner Instruction.
