A group of Earth science students decided to take an adventurous camping trip, so
they rode bicycles to a New York State park that was located in an isolated area. They
traveled up a steep hill. When they reached the top, they looked at the landscapes and
noticed a lake at the bottom of the hill. They named it Hidden Lake. To the left of Hidden
Lake was a large field with a small stream. They decided to set up their campsite in the
field near Hidden Lake. To get to the field, they cycled down a very steep slope.
The map below shows the location of the bicycle trail and the students’ campsite. Points
P and Q
are reference points on the map.
