With a contour map I can accurately plan my trail before leaving my house. However, there's always some natural variances so we'll have to take my rough draft and go see for ourselves what the map won't show me.

While exploring we'll use a clinometer. This tool measures the slope of a hill so we can keep the steepness of our proposed trail at an acceptable level for both difficulty and sustainability.

Let's go build some trail, yeah?
