Reading the Land - Topo Maps 101

A topographic map is one of the best tools to have in your backpack on all your adventures, but especially at Petit Jean State Park. Join a park interpreter at the Palisades Overlook to learn how to read this style of map and venture onto a short hike to truly understand what the lines mean. This program will last about 1 hour and will have a ¾-mile hike. Please bring along water and wear sturdy shoes.
