| Monday | Reef Bay Hike |
Meet at the National Park Visitors Center at 9:30 a.m. | The secrets of St. john's tropical forests, petroglyphs and sugar mill ruins come alive on this three mile downhill hike. Participants should bring lunch, 1-2 liters of water per person, any special medication, and a swimsuit for a dip at the trail's end. wear good hiking shoes (no open-toed footwear or aqua socks) and cool comfortable clothing. The Reef Bay Trail is mostly downhill but is not necessarily easy due to its length, steep rocky terrain, short but strenuous uphill sections, and the prevailing heat and humidity. In addition there is the remote possibility that deteriorating sea conditions might require hiking back uphill to the trailhead. Visitors with circulatory or joint/muscle problems, and other medical conditions, or with small children, should carefully evaluate their ability to do this hike. Participation is limited. reservations are required. Call 776 6201 ext. 238 between 8.00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. This hike includes transportation - a taxi ride to the trailhead (cost $5.00) and a boat pickup at Reef Bay, which returns hikers to the Visitors Center dock at Cruz Bay (cost $15) |
