Enjoy the breathtaking views of the lush green mountains which rises over 2,700 feet in elevation. These mountains are some of the most lush high-lands in the entire Caribbean being that this part of Jamaica can account for the most rainfall on the island.  These lower mountains embraces the northern slopes of the misty Blue Mountains, over looking the Rio Grande River, these mountains can be identified from far away as they are visible by their inviting greenery and sharp pointing peaks that sticks out against the clouds and skies.

During your hike, you can have breathtaking views of the communities which are located on plain-like parts of the lower areas of the deep valleys.  Enjoy listening to the fluty music which breezy notes are frequently changed by the speed of the wind as it pushes up the mountainside.  Hear the gushing sounds of swift flowing springs and smaller rivers which are tributaries to the Rio Grange River, as they flow powerfully down the mountainsides.
