Since 1987, Paul Angelides has served as the president of an eponymous engineering firm he founded in Syosset, New York. Alongside his work in New York, Paul Angelides resides part time in the Virgin Islands on the island of St. John.
Known for its national park, which encompasses approximately 60 percent of its landmass, St. John draws visitors to hike a diverse range of trails across the island. These hikes include the Cinnamon Bay Trail.
Beginning east of the historic ruins of the Cinnamon Bay Sugar Plantation and across from Cinnamon Bay Campground, the Cinnamon Bay Trail consists of a challenging one-mile hike through forests with trees such as mango and guava. The trail ends at Centerline Road, but some hikers choose to continue on with the Reef Bay Trail to the island’s South Shore.
Taking a side trip to the plantation ruins provides an insight into the history of the island’s sugar processing industry. A spur trail heads off to the ruins from the highest point along Cinnamon Bay Trail.
