Sunday, Oct 27th, 2024, 6:30am: Annaly Bay / Maroon Country

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 has scheduled a hike to Annaly Bay-Maroon Country. We are meeting for 6:30am in the morning at Frederiksted beach, across from where the new baseball field is being built. This is a very rough hike with hills and rock climbing around the coast to the largest tide pool in the Virgin Islands. We will discuss the natural, historical, and cultural resources of the area. Bring swimwear, water shoes, water, snacks, and comfortable footwear. It is about 6 or 7 miles round-trip. Olasee Davis is our tour guide.
