The views and seeing monkeys playing on the trail deserve a 5 star. The trail markings are sparse but manageable. You may have to hunt a bit for the absolutely fabulous view so I’ve reduced it to a 4. Don’t stop at the communication towers thinking that’s as good as it gets. You have to go down hill a bit on the trail to the right of the big white gate to find the view. There are a couple of trees down over the trail but nothing difficult to get past. We parked across the street from Loterie Farm before it opened and walked up the road. It’s a nice climb and you can access all the trails from there. We finished in Loterie Farm for a nice lunch and cold drinks. This is a great way to spend a day in St Martin.
Went in oct 2018. We were the only one on the trail. Certain parts were great and beautiful and others a little too overgrown!! Also wear long pants I wore shorts nd it was a mistake. Gorgeous views from the top.
Post Irma, the hike is both shorter and more strenuous. Did it 2 years before Irma and there was good canopy around, but that’s mostly gone. Also can’t get to top (TeleCom station) any more due to trees blown down. Still a nice hike.
