Morne Morel
Walked the road from Terre-en-Haut to Plage Pompierre. After checking out the beach, I backtracked to the trail sign, and started up a steep, residential road. At the end of the road a rough trail continued, well-marked with yellow paint. Reaching the crest, I headed right past the ruins of Batterie Caroline to a viewpoint with...

Forêt de Mervent
Did a clockwise loop starting from the center Mervent, following hiking trails and small roads along theMère river and through some oak forests. No obstacles on the route, but not much signage, either, so a map was essential (OpenStreetMap was accurate).

Le Littoral de Sainte-Rose
Hiked from the Plage des Amandiers to Fort Royal. The trails were mostly well-signed, and in decent condition. Some muddy spots, and a few places I got wet feet crossing small streams on the beaches. Encountered a couple of hikers, one large party on horseback, and some people lying on the beaches.

Cap Salomon
Started from Grand Anse. The trailhead was up a short, steep road. If the trailhead hadn't been signed, we wouldn't have believed that what we were looking at was the trail. Looked more like a river, with large rocks and plenty of water. This continued for all of the trail, except for a flat stretch near the top, which was muddy...

Mont Pelée
Started from the large parking lot at the l'Aileron trailhead sometime after noon. The trail up to the 3rd shelter was steep in places and rough, but well-signed, and the footing was good. No mud! Climbing up above the 3rd shelter, the trail was often nothing more than a bunch of slippery boulders. After stumbling around in the...

La Caravelle
Reached the trailhead at 11:00, after a kilometer or so on a decent dirt road. There were plenty of cars there, but I didn't have any problem finding space to park. Hiked a clockwise loop, with a short detour to the lighthouse (and the amazing viewpoint just behind it). The first part of the trail followed a maintained dirt...

Le Littoral de Sainte-Rose
Followed various trails and beaches from the Plage des Amandiers (near Sainte-Rose) to Anse Tillet (near Fort Royal). The trails were well-signed, for the most part, and I managed to keep dry feet... Crossed a few crowded beaches, but encountered few people otherwise.

La Grande Soufrière
Started at noon from the end of the road at Les Baines Jeunes, and took the shortest (or at least the most popular, judging from the crowds) route up. No issues with the trail. The last section was quite steep and required some care, especially going down. Some nice views on the way up. The top was in the clouds, but the...

La Pointe à Bacchus
Followed the hike described in the IGN TopoGuide. For the most part, the trail passes through farmland, with a few glimpses of the ocean, and decent "territorial" views. The trail was well signed, and in good condition, apart from some mud, and the fact that the boardwalk near the end of the loop was completely overgrown. Had...

La Trace des Ruisseaux
This hike is described in the IGN TopoGuide. Perfect rainy day hike, as most of the trail was covered with enough rocks, roots and leaves to keep the mud at bay. No views, just forest scenery, and a few glances at the river. Didn't encounter many people. Before heading home, we headed down to the "Maison de la Foret", crossed...

Le Littoral de Deshaies
Followed the route described in the IGN TopoGuide, except that we started from the Anse du Petit Bas-Vente, and ended up in Deshaies (both places have bus stops on the N2). Had no trouble following the route, and managed to cross all the beaches without getting wet feet. Rated this hike T2 because of the steep and rocky trail...

Lac Blanc
Took the cable car up to La Flégère. Followed the signed trail to Lac Blanc. The trail was rough in places, but well signed (once we found it), and there was a constant trickle of people. After an extended lunch break at the Chalet du Lac Blanc we headed back to La Flégère via the Lacs des Chéserys, just in time for the...
