Gros Piton Hike

We choose St Lucia for our honeymoon site in no small part because of the opportunity to hike UNESCO World Hertiage site Gros Piton and Petit Peton. After running a gauntlet of travel-related adventures and realizing that vacationing in a third-world country was more of an adventure than we had anticipated, we opted to hike the well-traveled Gros Piton and forgo Petit Piton. Above is a view from the top of that hike with a view of Petit Piton.
Myself in Five Fingers. Hiking in these was not as fun as some other hikes. The trail was very rocky and I had trouble keeping up with our guide.
St Lucia Coast, to the north.

Steps. Lots and lots of steps.
