Saturday, November 12th, 2022, 7:00am: Mount Eagle 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: The St. Croix Hiking Association scheduled a hike to Mt. Eagle! It is a mountain hike to the highest peak on St. Croix. The meeting place is at the top of "The Beast,” between Scenic West and Scenic East Road, at 7:00am. The hike will start at 7:30!

The hike is moderate, the easy path to Mount Eagle, and about 5.3 miles total. We will discuss the natural and cultural resources of the area. The dirt road will be muddy from all the recent rains, the trail may be a bit overgrown, but still passable. Dress accordingly!!  The hike will be lead by Catherine Prince and Steve Cohen.

Bring your water, and a snack! Wearing short or long pants is acceptable. For more information call at 772-2073 or www.stcroixhiking.org.
