Features of Natural Interest

Sage Mountain National Park, along Tortola’s mountain ridge is BVI’s highest point at 1716 feet. Its 92 acres contain important remnants of natural forest, including tree ferns, white cedar (the national tree), mahogany, kapok, bulletwood and other local flora. There are interesting hiking trails in this national part, and spectacular views can be had at various points along the trails.
