Hiking &
Jogging
The
Mastic Trail, part of the Mastic
Reserve, is two miles long, takes
about 2½ to 3 hours, and is ideal
for hiking in Cayman's wild
interior. The woodland, evolved
undisturbed for the last 2 million
years, offers a rich abundance of
birds, rare trees and animals, with
guided walks available daily. Call

Geddes has a degree in Wildlife
Biology, and really knows his stuff.
For joggers, Beach Bay Road, near

regularly by those wanting a good
surface with little traffic. And, of
course, there's the beach almost all
around Grand Cayman, with public
access guaranteed everywhere. |
