Sunday, February 22nd, 2026, 2:15pm: Sandy Point National Wildlife Refuge!

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 sunset hike to Sandy Point National Wildlife Refuge!  The area is known for its endangered species, sea turtles, and beautiful sunset on the West End. It is a coastline walk, and rough in some areas. Discussion will be on the natural, cultural, historical, and marine resources. Hikers might be walking in the water at times. Therefore, bring water shoes, snacks, drinking water, and a hat. It's a sunset hike, so a light might be handy. The hike is approximately 5.2 miles total. Olasee Davis, ecologist, is our tour guide.

The meeting place is at 2:15 pm at the Sandy Point National Wildlife Refuge parking lot.
