Crystal Crescent & the Brewery by Quinns

~PLEASE READ THE FULL DESCRIPTION BEFORE SIGNING UP ~

I kicked off this group by doing Crystal Crescent two years ago, so let's celebrate this wonderful trail on the group's anniversary! The Pennant Point trail at Crystal Crescent is a relatively flat loop that takes approximately 3 hours to complete. Please read the details of the hike here before signing up: https://www.alltrails.com/trail/canada/nova-scotia/pennant-point-trail

Please note that although the trail is relatively flat, it is rocky and can difficult at times. The end of the trail involves a bit of bush-whacking and swampy areas, and it is NOT for beginners. Be sure to wear appropriate footwear (e.g., no sandals/flip flops, heeled boots, etc.). Hiking boots are preferable, but running shoes will get you around the loop. The bushes can be scratchy on bare skin, so wear pants if you want to avoid scratches on your legs. Definitely bring two liters of water for this one. There is little shade on this trail, so sunscreen and a hat are recommended. Important notes: Late Morning Hikers NS is not liable for any accidents or issues that arise during the hike - you are responsible for your own safety. Also, people who repeatedly cancel last minute or don't show may not be allowed on future hikes (you can read our full attendance policy here).

We'll meet at the Mumford Terminal outside of the Tim Hortons at 10 am and car pool from there. After hiking at Crystal Crescent, we will visit the Brewery by Quinns, which has excellent happy hour prices off drinks between 3-6 pm ($6 beers, $10 wine) and delicious food: https://www.thebrewerybyquinns.ca/

See you Saturday! :)
