Sunday, October 11th, 6:30am: BUTLER BAY and possibly more!

   General info for all hikes and walks: Hikes and walks are a small fee (no electronic options available), please bring cash.

   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 into the Butler Bay Seasonal/Dry Waterfall! We will walk on the northwest coastal road shore from Estate Sprat Hall, and enter the Butler Bay stream bed. We will be walking in the dry stream bed, which is rocky. This hike is moderately difficult, on hilly terrain, with uneven footing, and large rocks to climb over, and will cover about 2.5 - 3 miles in total. If hikers are interested, we can also visit the Monks' Baths and swim at the beach! Discussion will be on the natural, cultural, and history of Butler Bay and the coastal historic sites, as well as the surrounding environment. Olasee Davis, ecologist, is our tour guide.

   MEETING PLACE: We will meet across from the Paul E. Joseph Stadium at 6:30am, near Frederiksted Beach.
