It took like an hour to reach the top. Great view. More

The 'Mt. Britton Trail' was my favorite hike at the El Yunque Rainforest. At first I was apprehensive as its listed as a 'challenging' hike. The challenge here is the steepness, otherwise, this hike is really not that bad. Even though its listed as a 45 minute one way hike, it took us about 25-30 minutes. The trail is well... More

The cool air, fresh, calm and beautiful view is unique when you get there you will forget all tired you cold be More

One can take the trail or the road -- we chose the trail. It is paved all the way and was lined with orange bromeliads in the trees. We met lovely folks on the way and enjoyed our packed lunches near the top. From the tower one can see clearly the ocean, with the island of Vieques and you are... More

The hike was great fun and not too strenuous. Took about 45 minutes roundtrip. More like an uphill walk, since the walkway was paved. Bring some water and some snacks and a light rain jacket (after all it is called the rainforest for a reason!) Keep your eyes and ears open for animals. The walk will bring you to the... More

The Mt Britton trail is very nice and worth the “moderate” effort to get to the tower. The view from the top of the tower is spectacular! We got there at a clear time of the day so we could see all the way to San Juan. We did the round trip hike in 1 hour. Like most of the... More

We enjoyed the climb up to the tower on top of Mt Britton. It was mostly up along paved path and stairs. Not terribly difficult. Once at the top you could see the vally and the next climb up to El Yunque (which we jammed out on). The hike took us about an 30 minutes up and 20 minutes down... More

The trailhead for this hike is near the end of highway in El Yunque. It is 0.8 miles up a bunch of switchbacks and a steep road. This is not an easy trail by any means, however the fact that it is paved went a long way to making it much more accessible. This is the rainforest so I wouldn't... More

After a disappointed hike to La Mina Falls we hiked over to Mt. Britton. It was definitely worth it. It took only took us about 30 minutes to get to the tower at the top. We would have liked to have hiked up El Yunque, but ran out of time. The hike was very easy, paved path and gradual grade.... More
