The Reef Bay Trail in Virgin Islands National Park on St. John is a 5 mile round trip hike with Taino petroglyphs, Dutch plantation and sugar mill ruins, some of the oldest trees on the island and a secluded beach. There is a good climb back to the trailhead but it is worth the effort; be sure to bring water. #USVI
