Читать книгу Hike the Parks: Rocky Mountain National Park - Brendan Leonard - Страница 71

The hikes in this book are mostly on well-established trails, and, as a rule, should not present navigational challenges. In cases where a trail crosses a section of rock, talus, or a boulder field, or is otherwise more challenging to follow, look for cairns to guide you, or for deadfall or rocks lining the sides of a trail. Always carry a map and compass—and know how to use them. In addition, a smartphone app that works offline, such as Gaia GPS, can answer the question, “Are we on the right path?” in seconds. Just be sure you have downloaded the proper map before setting out on your hike, since there’s often no cell service in many parts of the park.
