Mount Liamuiga Crater Trail

Mount Liamuiga Crater Trail is the mountain ascent on St Kitts that climbs through forest toward the crater rim of Mount Liamuiga.

Overview

Mount Liamuiga Crater Trail is the mountain ascent used to reach the upper rim of Mount Liamuiga. It climbs through forest, into cooler upper ground, and toward crater-side vegetation and exposed ridge terrain.

The trail runs through the northern highlands of St Kitts, where feeder roads and forest tracks give way to steeper, wetter mountain slopes. It also ties directly into the wider upland system protected within Central Forest Reserve National Park.

The route is defined by steady elevation gain. Lower woodland gives way to more demanding upper-slope terrain as the climb closes in on the crater.
