Mount Eagle, Mountain summit in Saint Croix, United States Virgin Islands.
Mount Eagle is the highest mountain on Saint Croix, the largest of the United States Virgin Islands. The peak stands about 1160 feet above sea level in the northern section of the island.
The mountain served as a key navigation landmark for sailors during the colonial era when ships crossed Caribbean waters. Its prominent position made it a reliable reference point for vessels approaching the region.
Local residents maintain traditional practices of gathering medicinal plants along the slopes of Mount Eagle throughout different seasons of the year.
The trail to the summit begins at West Scenic Road and covers about two miles of walking. Visitors should wear sturdy shoes and bring water since the path can be steep and exposed.
From the top, visitors can see both the Caribbean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean at the same time, observing where the two waters meet. This dual ocean view is what makes the hike particularly rewarding.
