Navigational Challenge Rating: 6/10
Subtle contours, open terrain, and few trails provide ample opportunity for parallel errors. Marshes and other water features are abundant at Moses Lake as well, making navigation challenging.
Physical Challenge Rating: 5/10
Since this location is made up of sand dunes, it can be physically challenging to traverse open areas.
