First Day Hike

1/1/2019 | Dr. Edmund A. Babler Memorial State Park | Wildwood, MO

Join us for the park’s first hike of the year. We will be hiking Hawthorn Trail across from the Alta Shelter. Hawthorn Trail is approximately 1.25 miles long. The shortest of the trails at the park, it shows a diversity of geology not found elsewhere in the park. A short distance from the trailhead, before the loop begins, the trail crosses Equestrian Trail. Continuing straight past this intersection, the trail goes along the northeast side of a narrow ridge and returns on the southwestern side. We will have refreshments on hand at the Alta Shelter for our guests.

Hike time: 10 a.m. - 11 a.m.

Meeting Location: Alta Shelter
