Mount Gimie

Mount Gimie is the highest mountain in Saint Lucia's island. It's in the Canries District on the island of Saint Lucia's west coast. The mountain's highest point is 950 meters above sea level (3,120 ft). It was formed 200,000 to 300,000 years ago as a consequence of strong volcanic activity and is covered by beautiful tropical rainforest. Many of the Pitons, including Mount Gimie, are still active volcanoes (a couple of volcanic plugs in which Mount Gimie belongs).

The peak may be reached by a path. Mount Gimie is one of the Mount Gimie Trail's three summits. The walk to Mount Gimie normally begins on the main road in Migny. Alternatively, if you have steel nerves and a car with adequate ground clearance, you may drive up the rugged secondary road. You may cut the overall hiking time in half by driving part of the way up the path / road. The East and South coasts, including Vieux Fort and the Maria Islands, may be seen well from the summit of Mount Gimie. When you look to the north across the island, you can appreciate St. Lucia's rocky topography. Because you'll be inland and in a rain forest, it's typical for the top of the mountain to be obscured by clouds; maybe you'll get lucky and catch a glimpse of the breathtaking vista - your prize for reaching the summit!
