Hiking: Mt. Qua- Qua

Image
Location: Grand E' tang National Park The hiking trail to Mt. Qua- Qua was not difficult but very challenging: due to its narrow ridges and rocky terrain. Scott stated in his post via Summitpost.org that: ' ' Mount Qua Qua is the second or third highest peak on the island of Grenada ... . It is also the most popular mountain to climb on the island. "( http://www.summitpost.org/mount-qua-qua/970228 ) The hike can be rigorous for those who are both fit and unfit, the beautiful scenery at the top of the hike will be worth the walk and aching legs. I truly enjoyed the lush green vegetation leading up to the lookout point, the peaks with mist (if it's rainy/ overcast) ,and over-looking surrounding communities in the valley. On your way up the trail, one can over look Grand E'tang Lake below (the view is to die for). Supposedly, there are 2 trails (or shortcuts) one can take to go either Annadale waterfall or Concord waterfall, that's if you're co...

Hiking: Levera National Park

DARING FRIENDS MAKE THE EXPERIENCE 2X BETTER.  Left picture: walking down to Bathway (popular beach on the northern side)   Right picture: while walking, the rain decided to bless our adventure, we hop or begged for a ride to avoid being soak.  Taking in the view after the sun decided to peek out from behind the clouds. Here's an idea- let's swing like kids again.  While swinging on the mangrove root, being all funny and happy. Then this happened, an unexpected fall. Lesson learnt, never swing on a mangrove root- Nah!! I'll def be doing it again.  The hidden gem of Levera. While exploring our surrounding, guess what they found a jelly fish (Portuguese man-of-war). Heated debate on whether it was an actual Portuguese man-of-war.

Hiking: Mt. St. Catherine

Located in Victoria, St. Mark's, Mt. St. Catherine is the highest point on the island, a Stratovolcano. The beginning.... I woke at 3am to the sound of a Conch shell that was  blown to communicate to those in the community that it was time to wake & prepare your self for the hike. Best advise to bathe the night before, it saves you time (my opinion), drink some hot tea, have snacks/ food and of course a Large bottle of water.  when hiking it's best to wear a long pants /leggings, sneakers, a t- shirt and a nice cozy sweater (Cold at the top of the mountain). Try not to carry to much load yet having the essentials. All dress and ready to go, my friends and I meet at a spot so that we can all leave together. Its was really dark out, but the moon was our guide. As usually we 'ole' talk while walking, from a distance you can hear several persons whom was also embarking on this hike. The climax.... We followed the trail, walk over rocks an...
