We participated in a canopy tour at Boone Creek Outdoors to better understand this unique mapping challenge. We subsequently went to Pine Mountain and GPS located the canopy platforms and measured their heights. In the lab we made 3D views with ESRI&#8217;s ArcScene and mapped nearby recreational assets using ArcMap.<\/p>\n<p>Explore student maps, GoPro video, and photographs of Pine Mountain and Boone Creek Outdoors <a href=\"http:\/\/sweb.uky.edu\/~blshea1\/nre355\/pine-mountain-canopy-tour\/\" target=\"_blank\">on\u00c2\u00a0this website<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What wild weekend and mapping task!
