Details & Highlights: This trail is nestled within the deep back woods of the Tru Juice Estate. It has everything one looks for on a hiking excursion and more. The Starting point runs alongside the main tributary of the Rio Cobre with chirping birds that feed on the ripe oranges and spans the “zillion” acre estate. The trail winds through the orange-groves and underpass of the new highway to the foot of the Mountain Range that stretches from Bog Walk to Springvale, South of Bog Walk to the Barry Main Road over 300 feet above sea level.
The uphill climb is on rocky grounds through a canopy of trees to over 1000 feet above sea level which is the most difficult portion of the hike. The trek is steep and challenging but the saving grace is the coolness from the trees and many stumps/large rocks to sit on to “tek a five.” It’s just fifteen hundred meters to the top where you will soon forget the challenge from the view you will see. The view from the top covers the entire valley from Bog Walk through Linstead, Ewarton and all surrounding areas. Strike a pose, take pictures and head eastward downhill, back through the orange-groves to riverside for food, swim, relaxation and lyme.
