Itinerary description
The Morne Gazo trail is just 15 minutes from St. George's and 4 minutes off the main road to St. David's where you will find undisturbed rain forest covering a conical hill that rises to 342m (1,140ft). The Forestry Department has built 1.7km (1mile) of nutmeg shell-covered nature trails within this beautiful forest. The trails climb about 75m (250ft) to the summit where a lookout platform has been built around a large tree. From here you will get one of the best views in the Caribbean. Morne Gazo is open to the public from 9 am to 4 pm, Monday to Saturday, and from 10 am to 3 pm on Sundays. It is closed on Public Holidays. Entrance is only $5 EC. - See more at: http://grenadagrenadines.com/explore/soft-adventure/hiking-trails/morne-gazo/#.WRpg4uvyvIU
Although short and well cleared the hike does climb to the top of the hill so it can be quite energetic with lots of log steps. Unfortunately in some places the path is not well maintained and the steps have disintegrated. Hopefully with the new visitors center now complete the path and the look out at the top of the hill will be restored. If so - fantastic views.
