    While St. John has over 20 trails to choose from, Ram Head Trail is a favorite! The trail is definitely a challenge but well worth it with its 360 views of the ocean and other islands at the top. Enter near Salt Pond Bay and make sure to go earlier in the day – there is little shade on the trail, so it can get hot.
