The Tenderfoot Orientation run was held on a hot sunny day, May 14, 2023. Starting and ending at Cal-Cheak recreation area, highlights were Brandywine Falls, the Train Wreck, the Callaghan and Cheakamus rivers, and a couple of suspension bridge crossings. We had a mix of very non-technical trail and technical trails, we all saw beautiful scenery, we all got hot, and there was one bear sighting (that quickly scrambled away).
