Echols Dorm: Brick Wall By Side Door
Hawksbill Mountain
CANCELED
it’s not a good week in cville unless i see the sunrise from a mountain at least one of the days & unfortunately my bday morning sunrise plans today fell through so i’m eager to plan another early morning shenanigan. forecast for wednesday is sunny & seventy so i gotta send it.
hawksbill is a quick lil boi that leads to great 270 views. it packs a lil punch with its steepness, but aside from that it’s easy peasy. it’s also a critically endangered sea turtle belonging to the family cheloniidae. the turtle is characterized by its distinctive beak & is prized for its shell. for more info visit: https://conserveturtles.org/information-about-sea-turtles-hawksbill-sea-turtle/ as for info on the hike: it’s a little less than a mile so roughly 25 min of hiking up to the summit!
the plan:
4:45 echols
6:10 trailhead
6:40 summit
6:56 sunrise
7:30 peace out
be back in time for 9:30 AM classes if that is you (9 AM’s are a possibility, not a given, join at your own risk)
to bring:
– water
– sturdy shoes
– morning spirits
– snacks/bfast
– layers
– headlap
– SNP park pass (i have 1 but there will be a slight fee if other cars don’t have one)
