We hike up Cinnamon Bay trail with the goal of catching the elusive V-tran bus to Cruz Bay. It's pretty much all uphill with the steepest part being at the beginning. There are roots and loose rock so you need to pace yourself and bring plenty of drinking water.

Start this shady hike in the Virgin Islands National Park off of Hwy 10 at mile-marker 4 (about 50 feet past the marker). This trail is pretty steep in many places and very slippery (many rocks and leaves), but the ruins and beach at the end are completely worth it. Cinnamon Bay beach is absolutely remarkable and one of the... More

Not what I expected from a National park. It was a pretty easy and short hike but on the marked path we had to climb over and under some decent sized logs and there were tons of gnarly roots all through the trail. In a few areas I was surprised there were no guide ropes as some pretty steep drop-offs... More

This is an easy, mellow loop trail that gets you into the forest and circulating around the ruins. Bring binoculars if you go early in the morning.

If you're starting the trail from Cinnamon Bay Beach, the first 200 yards or so are pretty steep and rocky. Once it levels out, if you're looking carefully, you'll see a signpost on your left with no sign. Turn left if you're adventurous as it takes you up high to some ruins. It is a dead end though.

We enjoyed this easy 1/2 mile walk, beginning near sugar mill ruins across the road from Cinnamon Bay. The posted signs helped us appreciate the flora and fauna. I was glad to read that the giant spider I had just seen was quite harmless!
