This is a fun an relatively easy hike, leading from a parking lot that can accommodate about 12-15 cars (depending on how creatively you can park a car), downhill to the Salt Bay beach (bring water shoes as it is rocky under the water). After you walk along the beach, the trail continues and is fairly easy going. Then you get to Blue Cobblestone Beach, which is quite spectacular and easier to walk on than you'd think. Past the length of the beach (I would walk along the water where the rocks are a bit smaller) you encounter some large boulders that you have to clamber over. We saw some older people having difficulty and were going on their behinds. As long as you're careful, it isn't too bad. Then the trail sweeps upwards, through a field of cactuses that are something to behold. Definitely climb your way uphill to the end for beautiful vistas. It took us about 2 hours there and back, then a quick dip in the Salt Bay beach (again, bring water shoes!), before heading back uphill to the car.

This was a hike well worth the view at the end! Walk across a sandy beach, traverse a rocky beach, then up through trees before the last leg through scrub and cacti. Most of the trail in the hot sun. Take water, wear decent shoes, enjoy the view!

This is a fun hike in St. John. Last year, we did this hike to be at the top of Ram Head before sunset, strongly recommended if you don't mind waking up early. Great views of the moon to the west and the sun rising to the east. This year, we got started on the hike around 8am. From the parking lot, it's around 2.6 miles round trip. We are in reasonably good shape in our 60's and it took us around 1 hour 20 minutes taking our time and taking pictures along the way. Add another 15 minutes at the top of Ram Head so the entire hike should only take a little over 1.5 hours. Note, it gets very hot and there is little shade so the hike will be a lot less enjoyable and likely will take longer if you leave after 8:30 or so. The trail is fairly rocky, lightweight hiking shoes or trail shoes or, at least, running shoes are recommended. Wouldn't do this in sandals.

It's a short hike with fabulous views, but it does get hot and has very little shade! Take a lot of water and go early. Hold on to your hat towards the top as it gets very windy. We regret not bringing a bathing suit to take a dip in Salt Pond Beach at the end!

Ram Head Trail is a nice morning hike. About 3.0 miles round trip from where you park. Head to Salt Pond Beach and then follow the trail at the far end of the beach to the right along the rocks. Hike is a low to moderate in difficulty. Can be done in sneakers although hiking shoes maybe better. Follow along to Blue cobblestone Beach walk to the far end to the left and pick up trail again. Great views along the way and at the top. Bring water. Even if you go early ot gets hot!

Wear the right shoes and leave your stuff at the beach. No need to drag it. Take lots of water and wear sunblock. There is very little shade. I would recommend you be in decent shape. Lots of rocks to walk over and it very humid and hot.
