Petit Byahaut (July 15-17)

Looking across the forest canopy at the start (Jul 17, 2004, 10:38am)

The first part of the hike was bamboo forest (Jul 17, 2004, 10:41am) The La Soufriere trail has two distinct characters. The first two-thirds of the trip went through a tropical rain forest, including sections of bamboo trees (as seen here). The trail was soft, but steeply sloped in most places. And the air was oppressively humid.

Look at all the vines hanging from the trees (Jul 17, 2004, 10:42am)
