Sunday, Aug 2nd, 2025, 6:30am:  Boiler Bay to Brown Bay

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: We have scheduled a lovely hike to Boiler Bay and Brown Bay, on the beautiful eastern tip of the island... The area is known for the first sunrise of the most eastern point of the United States. This coastal hike is on Sunday morning. It is an easy hike, with a few rocks to climb along its path, leading to Garden Bay Point, a pre-historic site with a great view of Goat Hill Ridge and the beach at Cramer Park.We will discuss the natural, cultural, and marine resources of the area.

The meeting place is Cramer Park, just before you reach the VLBA Antenna, promptly at 6:30am... There is no reservation needed, but there is a cash-only fee for the hike.

Olasee Davis, our ecologist, is our guide.
