About this hike
Hiking through Smokey Vale in St. Andrew offers a refreshing escape from the heat of Kingston, taking you into the cooler, mist-shrouded hills of the Manning's Hill area. The neighborhood is known for its elevation and lush, green surroundings, providing panoramic views of the city and the Kingston Harbour as you climb.

Every hike has a level from 1 (easiest) to 10 (toughest). If you're new, start around Level 1–4 and work up. See what each level means →
It's a hike, not a race: we move at the group's pace and take breaks together. Read the first-hike guide →
Arrive on time, bring water, and wear footwear suited to the terrain. Conditions can change quickly in the Jamaican hills — check the forecast the night before.

Joining Lifestyle Hikers is free. Most hikers carpool or meet us at the meeting point; for out-of-town hikes we usually arrange transport at a shared cost, shown above.
