Group Hike – Cape Spear to North Head!

***IMPORTANT UPDATE*** Rescheduled to August 17th due to the current air quality and heat warnings.

Join us for a scenic group hike starting at Cape Spear, the easternmost point in North America! We’ll visit the beautifully restored 1836 lighthouse and explore the WWII-era coastal defense battery before hitting the trail. The route winds along a stunning coastal path, offering diverse terrain and breathtaking ocean views.

We’ll hike to North Head, pause to take in the scenery (and hopefully spot seabirds and whales!), share some snacks and good conversation, then head back to the Cape Spear lighthouse.
