Mount Gimie
Quick Summary
Mount Gimie is the highest peak on the island of Saint Lucia, reaching 3,145 feet (959 meters). This volcanic island in the Caribbean Sea is part of the Windward group in the Lesser Antilles. Mount Gimie is part of a central ridge of wooded mountains that bisects the island from north to south. Many streams originate from these mountains, flowing through fertile valleys. The island's volcanic origin is also evident in the Gros and Petit Pitons, two prominent rock formations near Soufrière, which enclose a bay and are near boiling sulphur springs.1
