A family of four — Alex, Cory, four-year-old Coral, and two-year-old Kai — hikes Mount Scenery on Saba, a dormant volcano rising 877 meters (2,877 feet) with 1,074 steps, after sailing to the island and anchoring on the northwest side.6:40 The dinghy ride to Fort Bay on the south side covers nearly two miles; check-in costs $20 at the harbor office plus $20 per person for the national park.0:47 Customs, immigration, and the park stop push the trailhead start to nearly 11 a.m., reducing the chance of a clear summit view — clouds roll in daily and the summit was socked in.7:41 A local taxi driver named Anthony gives the family a lift up the steep road to the trailhead and explains the history of Saba's hand-built road, constructed starting in 1938 after engineers declared it impossible.2:49 The trail climbs through secondary rainforest and cloud forest, with rest shelters spaced along the route.6:00 Coral walks the entire 5.8-kilometer round trip; Kai needs help on the tallest steps.6:41 The summit view never clears, but the family later learns construction work with helicopters would have closed the trail on a clear day.16:17 The descent passes through elfin forest — muddy, mossy, and slippery — with a side trail to a secondary viewpoint.16:36 A bakery stop and a hitchhike back to the dinghy close the day.19:27
