LAST 2026 Monday February walk through the Villages golf course…sunshine and no rain for 15 hikers. Cheryl Allmen as photographer and Sweep, Terri Vivoli and Guy Hoover as leads.

24 Villagers went to the stop and 12 went to the top.

On Saturday, February 7th, a group of 31 people showed up for our Hill Hike. This was one of our largest groups. Also, 10 hikers made it to the top. Along the way we saw a bobcat and a batch of dark red Trillium flowers, both of which got the attention of photographers. 

Monday morning, February 2, 2026, five hikers met to climb to the top of our hill.  Along the way the plan changed, and it was decided to hike to the top of the seldom-used Hawk Trail. While approaching the start of Hawk at Tower, it was noticed the cows did a great job trimming the grasses, but the trail and its switchbacks could use some improvement. In any event, the view was spectacular from the top of Hawk, which might also be a good spot for a picnic table, bench or Adirondack chairs. On the way down, we saw a few deer and a horse with rider.
