Reef Bay Guided Hike
Ram Head Guided HikeA Park Ranger will introduce you to the meaningful history of Ram Head, including events of the 1733 African Revolution, while you explore and connect with each other and the unique landscape of this popular hiking trail. The Ram Head Guided hike is an intermediate hike just under 2 and a half miles. This trail is rocky and steep in some areas and the desert habitat provides little shade. The hike will leave from the Salt Pond Bay parking lot and will include traversing both Salt Pond Beach and Blue Pebble Beach before climbing to the peak of Ram Head. Be sure to bring your sturdy walking shoes, plenty of water, and mineral based sunscreen. Meet at the parking lot for Saltpond Bay Beach at 9:00 am the last Friday of the month, November through May. Visitors may want to bring swim wear and snorkel gear and spend some time at the beach after the hike.

Share the story of your life’s navigation to this point in time. Explore the significance of the visible constellations and view celestial bodies such as planets, nebulae, and galaxies through the park’s telescope. This program takes place on the beach every other Wednesday night at Cinnamon Bay Beach and Campground at 8:15pm, November through May. The beach can be “buggy” in the evening.
