Organizers: BJ Foster (Course Planner), Julie Laliberte (Course Planner), Clinton Adams (Event Director)
Map: Silver Lake
Point to point courses in Pinckney Rec, starting from the Silver Lake parking area (Pinckney HQ will also work, then drive a little farther).
Pinckney Rec is great for beginners because many of the trail junctions have numbered signs, so if you get a little turned around, you can recover quickly and get back on track with their help. Orange and up will enjoy Pinckney for its epic hills and great route choice options - can you successfully do an off trail short cut, or are you better off taking the long way around?
- White: 2.3 km, beginner friendly, points on trails, takes 30-60 minutes to walk
- Yellow: 3.0 km, good if you've done a White before, or have some previous experience, or if compass and the map click, points off trails but visible from trails, more decisions than White, takes 60-120 minutes to walk
- Orange: 4.0 km, off trail points on larger features, takes 90 to 150 minutes to walk with a few mistakes
- Green: 5.7 km, off trail points on small features in complicated terrain, takes 120-180 minutes to walk with a few mistakes
- Red: 7.1 km, off trail points on small features in complicated terrain, takes 120-210 minutes to walk with a few mistakes
