A couple of years back we went up at around 8:00 a.m.
I counted 18 people! Here's a few of them:

JT what the hay did you get up on the wrong side of the bed or eat an Xtra bowl of wheaties this morning. People just wanted some info. But your post did make me chuckle. I say we tellem caneel hill trail is easy and we see how many heart attacks we can induce :D :D :D Just kidding! Now that trail will seperate the men from the boys done it three times now. When I get to the top I look like I jumped in a pool.

Hey, Kirk! Naw, I didn't really mean for it to be harsh. Making one chuckle is often a hope I have when posting, and I don't like to see people intimidated from the hike. It really isn't all that hard and folks are glad, and proud, when they have done it. It's a series of some of the most spectacular views on STJ and you only get to see them if you get up off of your bar stool and walk it. Also a very therapeutic experience is to just stop and listen to the water coming and going over the rocks of the Blue Cobblestone Beach. If you are really adventurous, snorkle around the rocks to your right and head around towards Salt Pond.

Jt thats on the agenda for May. Going to do the snorkel on the way back. Liamsaunt said it is a real good snorkel. Speaking of the waves on the cobble stones. Theres a little cobblestone beach around the corner of the right side of Cinnamon. Was snorkeling and went up and laid on that beach for a half hour listening to that sound. PURE SOLITUDE!! :D :D Would have stayed all day if I had my Honey and a six pack of Presedente's with me.

Shaazam, Sherban! That's a great YouTube video. Only problem is that the less ambitious will feel after watching it that now they don't need to make the walk!

JT- Maybe that's a good thing...less couch potatoes on the trail may be a good thing rather than a problem. :P Technology has many uses and effects. Cheers-
