Mount Saint Catherine, Volcanic summit in Grenada.
Mount Saint Catherine is a volcanic summit in Grenada with a horseshoe-shaped crater opening toward the east. The peak rises to about 840 meters and stands as a notable landmark dominating the surrounding terrain.
The mountain formed as the youngest of five volcanoes in Grenada and reflects the island's volcanic past. Its last recorded eruptions date back to the Pleistocene period.
The mountain serves as a natural boundary marker between two parishes, helping locals orient themselves in the landscape. Visitors walking through the area can sense how this landmark anchors the sense of place for surrounding communities.
Several trails climb through the forest reserve to reach the summit, with guided options available that can include visits to nearby Tufton Hall Waterfall. Wear sturdy hiking boots and come prepared for wet and muddy conditions as you walk through the woodland paths.
The mountain contains active geothermal features such as hot springs and fumaroles that reveal ongoing volcanic activity beneath the surface. These visible steam vents remind visitors that living geological processes continue under this landscape.
