St. John Off The Beaten Track

by Gerald Singer

First published in 1996, when St. John was a still sleepy island, this updated version provides a respite from busy Cruz Bay. The guide offers an insiders view into the quintessential St. John with its hiking trails, scrambles and gut walks. Singer, a long time island resident, provides a framework for reference with lots of fast facts and an easy to read description of places of interest, flora and fauna, amidst a well laid backdrop of St. John s rich history and island legend. --Virgin Voice, December 2006 January 2007

A must read if you visit St John and rent a jeep, which you should do, both.

Truly an excellent book. So glad I purchased it in preparation for our visit to Saint John. I bought the latest post hurricane edition.

Another book I read before my honeymoon. This one was also very helpful at helping to plan our days. The plus side to this one was the color photos.

Great descriptions of that trails, seems almost too detailed until you're actually out there wishing you'd ripped the pages out to pack in your trail bag.

This book is great. i took it on all my hikes and led me to some great locations. Be sure to buy this book as there is a whole other side to St. John.
