Great views from the ruins on the Leinster Bay trail

It’s always a nice day to hit one of the hiking trails on St. John. I recommend early in the morning before it gets too hot and make sure to bring plenty of water along with your swimsuit so you can cool off afterwards. If you are not familiar with the trails, make the National Park store at Mongoose Junction one of your first stops and pick up a map. One of my favorite hikes is Annaberg along Leinster bay out to Brown bay and back or the Reef bay hike is very popular with amazing ruins. If you prefer not to hike back up, you can take the hike with a park ranger and come back on the national park boat. For more information, please contact the National Park at 340-776-6201. Have a sunny day! Lynn
