Hicks Village to Nevis Volcano

Hicks Village to Nevis Volcano is an advanced mountain route on Nevis, rising from the Hicks side toward the volcanic slopes of Nevis Peak.

Overview

Hicks Village to Nevis Volcano is a harder mountain approach from the Hicks side into the upper slopes of Nevis Peak. The route is about ascent from the northeastern side of the island rather than a general overview of the mountain itself.

It belongs to the Hicks Village side of Saint James Windward, away from the west-coast settlements and the more familiar Gingerland-side approaches. The trail should be read alongside the wider mountain setting of Nevis Peak National Park.

Its main distinction is the side of the island it uses. This is an alternative mountain line from the Hicks side, not the standard summit approach most visitors associate with Nevis Peak.
