Peace Hill

It's worth a stop at this unmarked spot just past the Hawksnest

Bay overlook for breathtaking views of St John, St. Thomas

and the nearby British Virgin Islands. The flat promontory

features an old sugar mill. The pile of stones you'll see is what

remains of Christ of the Caribbean, a statue honoring world

peace erected in 1953 by Col. Julius Wadworth. The statue fell

to Hurrican Marilyn's winds in 1995, and the National

Park service chose not to rebuild it. From the parking

lot, the remains of the statue is about 100 yards up

a rocky path.
