St. john USVI - Cruz Bay

 
Above: a hiking trail in the Virgin Islands National Park rises over Cruz Bay. The Park was created by Laurance Rockefeller in the fifties. (He also negotiated the right to have the only resort on the island for thirty years-- Caneel Bay resort.)  

Check the Visitors' Center in Cruz Bay for Park activities such as hikes with Park rangers, snorkel trips, and nature and history talks. Though small, St. John has some dramatic history, such as a briefly-successful slave revolt.
