What you'll see ⛰️ Summit🌄 Big views🏛️ Historic site

This 1.8 mile strenuous trail begins at the east end of the Waterlemon Bay beach and ascends past historic sites on both sides of the trail. At the top of the first hill, a side trail on the left leads to a hilltop site with great views in all directions. The Johnny Horn Trail continues past the start of the Brown Bay Trail at 0.7 mile, to the near the top of Base Hill where there are good views of Coral Bay. Also, at this point there is a spur trail to the left that leads to the top of the hill with great views of Hurricane Hole and continues down to meet the main trail along the road. The main trail continues, following a road down to the paved road at the Moravian church in Coral Bay.

Tips
Two to four hours, more if you link it with other trails. Almost no shade - carry far more water than you think you need.
