What it's like
Crown Mountain rises above Saint Thomas and is the highest point on the island and in the entire United States Virgin Islands. Visitors come for the height and the wide views that the summit offers over the island.
A visit is mostly about the top and the walks around it. Nearby, the national park has many trails that suit all abilities.
Good to know
- The Skyride tram has a paid day pass, so check the cost before you go up.
- Taxi fares are per person. Agree on a price before getting in, and expect unlicensed gypsy taxis.
- Outside Charlotte Amalie the roads are narrow and local drivers take turns fast, so take care in a taxi.
