Hot take: spent 4 hours on the Timberline Trail with my map upside down and never noticed
I was hiking the Timberline loop around Mt Hood last August and kept wondering why the trail signs didn't match my map at all. A guy coming the other way asked if I was heading to Ramona Falls and I looked down and saw my compass was set to the wrong declination the whole time. How do you all double check your bearings before you start walking?
