Hawksbill Mtn Exploration B/2
Ted Nelson (Theodore.nelson@yahoo.com or 530-0666) We will do some exploring in the SNP in the vicinity of Hawksbill Mtn. The first objective is to locate one of the Steam Engines that was left in the park when it was formed. This requires some off trail navigation for a mile or two. This will be followed up by a chance to find the homesite of one of the families that had lived in the park - again off trail. For those with energy left over, we will ascend to the top of Hawksbill Mtn which is the highest point in the SNP. Total distance approximately 9 miles with 1300 feet of elevation. Leader approval is required for this hike due to the nature of off trail hiking.
