Sunday, September 4, 2022, 4pm: Flashlight Hike to Goat Hill and...

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 usually as many as 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: This is a flashlight hike - hint, hint!! Please be prepared. Show up on time as we will be carpooling to another location to start the hike.

The St. Croix Hiking Association has scheduled a moonlight/flashlight hike to Goat Hill. The hike is moderate to steep, leading to Goat Hill at 674 feet above sea level. The road has loose stones in some areas. It is a dry shrub forest ecosystem. We will discuss the natural, cultural, and historical link between the marine, terrestrial, and marine environment. The hike is 3.5 miles round trip. Bring flashlight, water, etc. The meeting place is at Cramer Park for 4:00pm, but the hike starts from Grapetree Bay Estates.
