Summit of Carriacou, High North Peak from Anse la Roche

This hike takes you to the highest peak on the island of Carriacou.

The hike is possible from Bogles (the path is in very good condition for pedestrians) and from Anse la Roche, but it is a little more complicated to find the path that leads to the intersection with the path to Bogles. To do this, take the return section to Anse la Roche.

Description of the walk

Wear trousers and sun protection. The paths are not well maintained, even though we are after Béryl.

Bring a bin bag to keep your rubbish with you.

A few points:

1. Start at Anse la Roche beach. The path is a little difficult to find (marked with red markings). Although the path was made after Béryl, there are still many fallen tree trunks in places. This path was only found on the way back.

2. The path leads to a larger path. It runs alongside a property. There is a cow on the path.

3. Intersection with a larger path towards Bogles (very well marked). This track leads to a small path that climbs directly to the summit (marked by a red turtle symbol throughout). The path to Bogles is passable for a pick-up truck. No parking available on the road.

4. During the climb to the summit, there is a possible detour to a viewpoint overlooking the south of the island. Tree trunks littered the road. Progress through the bushes was not easy.

5. Stay on the main road the whole way. The old road has half disappeared (fallen tree trunks). Another road has since been built.

Notes

You can start from Bogles. The path is a wide track, so there's no doubt about which way to go.

If you are starting from Anse la Roche, be sure to take the same path on the way back (marked with red markings). It is to the left of a small white sign planted at the foot of a tree at the edge of the beach.

Worth a visit

At the summit: Petit Saint Vincent, Petite Martinique, Petite Dominique and the south of Carriacou Island.

Land turtles and iguanas can be found along the way.
