Located to the north of Boeri Lake and Morne Macaque is the impressive massif of Morne Trois Pitons. Its French name means “Three Peaks,” as the top of this mountain is actually shaped into three peaks. Morne Trois Pitons is also a dormant volcano, and the second highest mountain on the island. It reaches up to height of 4,672 ft within 5 miles of the sea, and is the dominant landform and the namesake of the Morne Trois Pitons National Park, a World Heritage Site. The beginning of the trail passing through secondary rainforest is moderate, but gets steep and tricky when you’re into the elfin woodland. A very challenging hike, it requires both good physical condition and a sense of balance. It is advised to wear long pants for the razor grass, which is a common feature of the trail.
