The second "big" peak I attempted was Crown
mountain on St Thomas. This was a drive
up, so the climb wasn't an issue. The
logistics were the toughest part. This
involved a ferry to St Thomas and a taxi to the top. The taxi driver was a bit put-out, not by taking the trip but by
my insistence that Crown Mountain was the high point (not "Mountain
Top"). He told me "I've been
on this island my entire life and I assure you that Mountain top is
higher. He was willing to do the drive
and even got us around the construction site which had Tower Road closed on the
south side of the island. We looped
around to the north and parked near the top at the WGOD radio tower. With stops at Mountain top (tacky
knickknacks) and the botanical garden (kind of sad and lame) it was a full day
on the island.
