Description: Join members and friends of SAHC on October 3 for a challenging hike in the Spring Creek Community. The hike will begin at the home of Maxine and Jack Dalton at 10:00 am. The Dalton's place (75 acres), formerly the Spring Creek Tomato Company, has been in a conservation easement with SAHC since 1999. We will walk along the ridge top between the valleys of Spring Creek and Meadow Fork and enjoy beautiful views of Bluff Mountain and Max Patch. This a 4 to 5 hour strenuous hike on both private as well as national forest service land. The hike will end at the Dalton home at the top edge of their conservation easement.
