Welcome Stone Hike in Grenada

Hike review: https://roamingspices.com/welcome-stone-hike/ Music: https://www.bensound.com Welcome Stone Hike - Route Guide The Welcome Stone hike from Bathway is not an official, published hiking trail. We just so happened to be spending a week in the Glass House Airbnb in Bathway and fancied a hike to the Welcome Stone! Upon leaving our accommodation, we headed north along the coast road that runs parallel with Bathway Beach. Here you get to enjoy unbroken easterly views over the ocean, towards Green Island and Sandy Island. In approximately 600 metres, you will take the second turning on the left. This will lead you in a westerly direction along a pleasant, leafy residential street that gradually winds its way up into the hills of Bathway’s interior. Before long, the concrete road gives way to a dirt road which soon plateaus and views open up to the forested peaks to the west and south-west. The residential properties of Bathway now give way to roadsides lush with thick vegetation. Rose Hill A short distance further on, you will enter Rose Hill, a typical rural Grenadian village. Here you will find modest wooden properties splashed with vibrant colours, which is so much the norm in this island Nation. You can’t help but notice the pride taken in the presentation of these small homes, which are, without exception, immaculately presented. We received the usual friendly greetings from young and old as we passed by. When we asked a man for clarification that we were indeed on the right route, he even offered to walk us all the way to our destination. We politely declined his kind offer.
