    My Hike in St. Lucia

    I hiked the Gros Piton mountain while I was on my honeymoon and thought I would share a few pics of the view. It was quite breathtaking at 3000 ft. The hike was pretty difficult as it had 0 swithcbacks. It was basically a snake trail straight up the mountain and was about 85% rock and 15% roots. It was quite an accomplishment and quite a view. If you are ever there I recommend it, but only if you are in excellent shape. lol

    View of the 2 Pitons, Gros on the left and Petit on the right. We hiked the Gros.



    The trail going up.



    View at the Summit.




    The countries staple, Piton beer. Named after the mountains, and it is EXCELLENT. Too bad it's not available for export outside of the Caribbean. It is awesome.

        Of all the islands I've been to, I liked St. Lucia the best. I just see it becoming the next Haiti, though. I swear, every local woman out there was pregnant!

          lol. I didn't see too many preggos. All of the locals are REALLY fucking nice and cool. You can get a mansion there on a cliff with a million dollar view of the ocean for like 100 grand. I might have found a place to go. lol I can drink Piton all day and hang out on the beach.

              around 6 and a half a gallon. A LOT of buses around the country. We took taxi's but it was weird having the right-hand drive European thing going on. Lots of cool cars there and variants of cars that the US doesn't get. I saw 3 older Skyline GTR's.

                    That second pic is intense. Looks badass!

                    I'm more of a pine trees mountain guy but I'd love to do a jungle mountain trek one day.

                        I thought the Appalachian trail hike I did was intense until I did this. I almost got completely dehydrated and had several bottles of water. Coming down your knees are knocking from being worn out.
