Sitka Trail Works offers a hike along the Gavan Hill/Harbor Mountain Trail. Meet Saturday, July 11 at 9:00am by the Sitka High School/Performing Arts Center entrance to Cross Trail.
A mandatory COVID-19 pre-screening questionnaire (page 2 here) and liability waiver must be completed prior to participation. Social distancing between different household groups and face coverings are encouraged. STW will not provide transportation down from the Harbor Mountain trailhead this year due to social distancing requirements so participants must arrange to be picked up or stage a personal vehicle at the trailhead.
The hike is a strenuous 6 miles and depending on the speed of participants may take about 6 hours. Expect extensive stairs, roots, rocks, and log or rock steps which can be very slippery when wet. The group will hike all the way up the Gavan side, then past the small shelter, and around to the Harbor Mt. parking area.
Participants should bring their own water, food, hiking poles, and appropriate clothing for the weather. Hike leaders will carry VHF radios and a first aid kit. Anyone under 18 attending must be accompanied by an adult & have a liability waiver signed by their legal guardian.
