Fall Hike – Wildcat Ridge Hawkwatch Trail @ Wildcat Ridge Hawkwatch Trail

Nov 6 @ 1:00 pm – 3:30 pm

Please join Pack 142 on our Fall Hike!

Event Date: Sunday, November 6, 2016
Event Time: 1:00PM – 3:30PM
Event Location: Wildcat Ridge Hawkwatch Trail
Dress Requirements: Pack T-Shirt

We invite all pack members and interested guests to attend our fall hike at Wildcat Ridge Hawkwatch! This is a great place to see migrating hawks in the spring and fall as they ride the thermals along the ridge top. The breathtaking view of the Highlands is well worth the walk to the lookout even when the hawks are not moving. The Hawkwatch provides a spectacular vista of the forest and valleys of the Highlands. On a clear day the New York City skyline is visible from this overlook high on the edge of the ridge.

The Wildcat Ridge Hawkwatch is located within the Wildcat Ridge Wildlife Management Area, located off Rt. 513 (Upper Hibernia Road) in northern Rockaway.

We will gather at the parking area at 1:00PM. Please ensure you bring water and small trail snack! Scouts that are working towards their hiking requirement should bring a backpack with the Cub Scout Six Essentials for Hiking.

First Aid Kit – A kit should include a few adhesive bandages, some moleskin (a sticky bandage that you can put over a blister to keep it from getting worse or rubbing), and a bandage or two.
Filled water bottle Make sure it is big enough to carry water for you to drink through your whole hike and back. And make sure it is full when you start out! It is not safe to drink water you find along the trail.
Flashlight Check your batteries to make sure they have plenty of juice. Your flashlight will be used only in an emergency, so save the batteries for times when you really need them!
Trail food Trail mix or a granola bar provide quick energy when you need it.
Sun Protection Sunscreen should be SPF 30 or greater. A hat is good to have, too!
Whistle It’s only for emergencies, but a whistle will last longer than your voice.
