Sun, Oct 12, 2014, 7:00 am: St. George Hill Hike

General info for all hikes and walks: Hikes and walks are $5 for members, and $10 for non-members (become a member). Unless otherwise noted, the pace for hikes is moderate, lasting 3-5 hours, covering 3-5 miles, the terrain is hilly, footing is sometimes uneven, and we follow trails and possibly paved or dirt roads . Walks are easier and shorter than hikes, and usually follow paved or dirt roads, no trails. The guide may periodically stop and talk along the way. Bring sturdy, comfortable walking or hiking shoes, water, snack, bug spray, rain poncho, and camera. Shorts or long pants are OK. For day hikes, bring a hat and sun block. For night hikes, bring a small flashlight. There are usually about 20 people. We depart about 30 minutes after the posted start time. For some hikes, we will meet at the indicated location, then drive a short distance to the hike location.

Specific info for this hike: Meet 7:00am at the beach-front parking lot of Paul E. Joseph Stadium, which is just north of Frederiksted.

We will follow the road going through La Grange, then turn by the two pillars. From there it is a mile walk uphill - the road narrows and we go into the bush. We will follow the overgrown road, then into a dirt path to come out by a house. Then take a short uphill for a great view of the west end. We will then follow the dirt road through Frederickhaab area, come out on a pave road, then go down the hill and walk back to the cars. This will take about 3-1/2 hours, one strenuous hill, other hilly areas.
