Tekoa!


Ascending the 'spine' of Tekoa Mountain

Ah Tekoa! Its lofty ledges always provided a challenge for me. Whether I be young, or in this case now a bona fide senior. A small group of Hilltown Hiker members started on up through the Grace Robson Sanctuary from a favorite entrance on the Westfield border. We wished to check out possible access to a cave in the cliffs with what data had been accumulated. We got a good look-over from the spiny ridge where Unkamit's Trail climbs the Mountain. Nothing looked real promising at this point in time. But we noticed a possible access/descent to an area likely to contain other caves.

On the return, my companions put in some maintenance work on the main trail running through the Sanctuary.
