Milton Falls and Syndicate Nature Trail

Today Keith, Alex, and I went with another family to Milton (Syndicate) Falls and walked through the Syndicate Nature Trail. Below I have pics and a video of the falls and some trees at the nature trail. I have seen a quite a few waterfalls on the island and this one, I'm sorry to say, is my least favorite. What I like about the waterfalls is the ability to jump in and swim in the pool the waterfall lands in. This waterfall had a fence around the pool so nobody could enter. I do understand why the fence is there (because it is the drinking supply for neighboring communities) but it is an ugly fence and you wish it wasn't there when you take pictures. The hike is about 20 minutes and is not that challenging. I mean Alex could do it and she is three! The cool thing about this area is that it is known to to be the home of two parrots, the Jaco, and Sisserou Parrots. These parrots are indigenous to Dominica. I was fortunate enough to see the Jaco Parrots today but didn't get a pic. I wasn't fast enough.
