This is a must do. It is slippery at points so wear appropriate shoes. We are that proverbial middle aged couple who USED TO BE in great shape. Our taxi driver told us it was a "moderate hike" to.... more

You do not need a guide to climb the mount scenery. The path to the top is easy to follow. I highly suggest for the adventurers under us to start from the Sandy Cruz trail at Zion's Hill. Just a...

Just make sure you have plenty of time and stamina. This is not for the weak but worth every step to the top. Weather permitting you will get great views of the island.

Steep trail and worth it. The views are spectacular. With clouds and mist, just waiting for King Kong to show up.

We did the hike starting at Sandy Cruz, through the Elfin forest, and ending at the Mount Scenery Trailhead in Windwardside. (made it in time for happy hour at Tropics too!) This is such a great hike since most of it is under the cover of trees so not too hot. If you're doing the Elfin forest make sure to go in the dry season, even still when we went it was muddy! There were a few very slippery spots where it would be easy to fall. Definitely do this hike with a buddy or group. The forest itself was AMAZING. So beautiful, tranquil and lush! The portion of the hike on Sandy Cruz trail has amazing views. There are a few spots that could use more trail markers, especially at the intersection of Elfin Forest and Mount Scenery trail, so maybe hike with a map or study the directions before you go.

What a great hike. A bit tough but if you take your time you can make it all the way up. It's worth the epic view, like being on top of the world.

The highest peak of Saba and also the highest peak in the Kingdom of the Netherlands. Great views when the clouds have disappeared, but the hike is intense, especially when you consider that you must walk are the stairs down to. You can also visit the site near the communication tower, but that's not the peak. Say hi to the chicken when you're almost at the pinnacle :)
