The trek up Boiling Lake Trail in Morne Trois Pitons National Park to Boiling Lake is an arduous one, so only the adventurers willing to hike the muddy trails and challenge their physical and mental agility will want to make this trip, and even then only with a qualified guide. The 8-mile trail with its rugged terrain and steep inclines takes about 3 hours one way. The Valley of Desolation near the end of the trail provides a beautiful landscape. The lake itself is a bluish-grey bubbling boil caused by a fumarole, or steam vent, in the Earth’s crust. Rising water vapors give the lake an ethereal ambiance.
