Last Sunday we took the afternoon and went for a hike that we’ve never done before.  Friends of ours had said that the Caneel Hill Hike was an awesome workout and the view at the top couldn’t be beat, so we decided to go for it!  You start at the bottom near mongoose junction and meet the trailhead just past the National Park parking lot.  It’s steep, it’s rocky, it’s a hard 1.8 miles and it’s totally worth it.  Here are some photos from the top, it also happened to be an incredibly calm and clear day so it was extra beautiful!  Enjoy!
