SUMMARY:Hastings Lake to Mottet Hill
DESCRIPTION:Note (updated 2024-09-30\, 16:15MT): due to trail maintenance constraints the Battle River A60 to Schnee Hill hike would not be available so we will be redoing the Mottet Hill hike from August.

Here are the pictures from the hike on August 4th\, 2024. \nThe hike will leave from “A91”\, on Township Road 512  (just off Highway 14 at Range Road 204) at about 9:45 a.m. \nIf you are new to WTA hikes\, then you should visit the Guided Hikes webpage for essential information. For further information specific to this hike\, refer to The Waskahegan Trail Guide Book\, pages 78-79\, or contact the Hike Leader\, JoAnne B. & Lee S.\, at 780-487-0645. \nHere are the stories of previous hikes: \n\nAugust 2024\nMay 2023\nMay 2019\nJune 2018
