Hagley Gap is roughly a 7 mile hike from the Blue Mountain Peak and a popular destination for hikers and camping enthusiasts. Jamaicans prefer to reach the peak at sunrise after the 3 to 5 hour hike so night time hikes are the norm. After reaching the peak a hiker has an incredible view of both the North and South Coast of Jamaica and the surrounding oceans.
The Blue Mountain Project (BMP) is a nonprofit organization and a partnership has been established between the BMP and the community of Hagley Gap. The are currently working together on building a medical clinic to help meet their basic health needs, operating nutrition programs and providing job training to the community.
