Description

Mt. Britton Trail is a challenging 0.8-mile route that rapidly ascends 591 feet through Sierra Palm forest and Cloud Forest to the summit at 3,087 feet. The highlight is the historic Mt. Britton Tower, a stone observation tower built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in 1937–38 and recognized as the tallest CCC stone masonry tower of its kind. On clear days, the observation deck offers panoramic views spanning the Atlantic Ocean, Caribbean Sea, and Puerto Rico's eastern coastal plain.
