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.
