Trail
leading is serious business not to be taken lightly. It is also fun
if you are prepared for all situations.
Learn skills needed to safely lead
clubs, friends, other groups.
"...sincerely thank you for this past week's

Trail Leader Training in the Central Cascades.
Although I had significant off-road trip experience as a leader, I
was blown away at how much I did not know prior to the training.
Humbling to say the least."
