Also, here is your track with the winter cutoff drawn in black. Looks like you would have eventually hit the trail again if you kept going. :D

Oh ok. In our case we hiked in against a 50mph headwind with tons of windblown snow. Might have invented a new technique, where I was hiking backwards with my brother in my windshield yelling left or right to me.dswink wrote:By looking back and capturing the route in your memory on the way in, you will remember landmarks on the way out.Sounds obvious but it works very well if you can remember to pause for occasional looks at your back trail.
