Mt. Pinos Orienteering Weekend
June 25 - 26, 2016
Saturday - Sunday
Join us for our annual two-day regional event at Mt. Pinos. Open running through pine forests is a special treat that we only get to enjoy during the summer months. Don't miss it!
Unfortunately, we were unable to secure either of the group campsites this year, so you're on your own. The family campsites at McGill are first-come, first serve. The campground generally does not fill to capacity when we are there. Note that McGill campsite does not have water.
