Saddle Hill Trail
Saddle Hill Trail is the route to the Saddle Hill lookout on Nevis, climbing from the Gingerland side toward the southern ridge above Zion.
Overview
Saddle Hill Trail is the walking route up to Saddle Hill on the southern ridge of Nevis. The climb is tied to gaining height over the Gingerland side rather than entering deep rainforest.
The trail runs through the hills above Gingerland Area, where the road toward Saddle Hill Fortress gives way to higher ground. It is a south-side lookout route rather than a north-coast bay walk or a mountain-forest climb.
Open hillside and the ridge outlook define the route. The emphasis is on the changing view across southern Nevis as the ground rises.
