It is New Years Day and experience tells me it will perhaps be very cold . It is advisable that all hikers coming on this hike MUST have ICERS. While the route to the lighthouse is flat most of the trail will probably be covered with ice. So, dress for the weather. Bring a lunch and a HOT drink along with water, and any other essential you might need for the day.

Parking is FREE. We meet in the parking lot. So that we can start the hike on time I urge everyone to arrive at least 15 minutes before departure time.
