“My favorite journey is looking out the window.” – Edward Gorey ⁣ ⁣ Covering much of the island of St. John, Virgin Islands National Park features breathtaking beaches, tropical forests, and relics from the island history. Hiking is one of the most popular activities. The park provides a wide variety of hiking experiences and more than 20 trails to choose from accessible boardwalks that meander through historic ruins to a bird viewing deck on a salt pond. Be prepared for outdoor recreating. Whether you’re in an urban, historical, mountainous, or island park, be prepared for potential high temperatures and the increased risk of heat-related illnesses. Drink water, rest often, and find the shade…or the beach. ⁣ ⁣ Image: A rainbow seen through a window in ruins along the Cinnamon Bay Nature Trail. ⁣@virginislandsnps ⁣ #virginislands #nationalparkservice #summertravel #carribeanlife
