The most accessible walk inside BJCMNP, starting from the Holywell park station at ~1,100 m. The loop threads through dense cloud forest with interpretive signage on endemic flora; on clear days the view from the ridge extends south to Kingston Harbour. Excellent for endemic birdwatching, especially the Jamaican Tody and Streamertail (Doctor Bird).

Safety notes
