Not a true jungle rain forest, what is called a rain forest in St. Croix can best be characterized as a tropical moist forest. A drive through northwest St. Croix on Routes 76, 763, and 58 outside Frederiksted takes you past lush vegetation that includes kapok trees, strangler fig trees, and hog plum trees that in the summer bear tasty yellow fruits. A four-wheel drive road, called the Scenic Road, takes you on an off-the-beaten path drive through the forest and points east. There is no admission charge.
