Hello All.

I have been looking for info on Mount Zion, but can't find much. Does it have any hiking trails open to the public?

How long is the trip from TB to Mount Zion?


Thanks,

Isn't Mt. Zion in St. Ann's parish ?

As far as I know, there's a Mount Zion in the parish of St. James (see http://fallingrain.com/world/JM/12/Mount_Zion.html).
John, both St. Ann's parish and St. James Parish are on the north coast, so the trip from TB will take you a couple of hours, even if you don't use public transportation and hire a driver instead.

Thanks for the quick replys.

Sorry for the confusion, I am speaking of this Mt. Zion in St. Elizabeth parish:

I'm not familar with that Mount Zion or that area of St. Bess.

I'm not sure if Mount Zion is a town/city, but it looks like it is not the name of a mountain, as I first thought.

It appears to be in the Nassua mountains at the atltitude of 2486 feet. Does anyone know the names of the montains in this area?

Thanks,

Is it the Santa Cruz mountains?

I don't think it is the Santa Cruz mountains.

Here is more info I dug up:

So it looks like the mountain is in St. Mary, and a populated place in St. Elizabeth with the name of "Mount Zion". Maybe it goes by another name?

Thanks to everyone who is helping me figure this out.
