Grenada has some big hills and it's got plenty of waterfalls. Some are easy access and others require a long walk up a steep hill. We went for the combo today; Concord Falls 50m from the car park and then following the path along the river to up to Fontainbleu falls an hour and a half hike through the rainforest. We crossed the river via stepping stones about seven times, climbed over fallen trees, ducked under low branches and finally scrambled over and under boulders to reach the swimming pool at the foot of Fontainbleu. Yes, we did go for a dip, David a skinny dip! And it was refreshingly cool. The walk down was just over an hour.
We should have left it at that, but made the mistake of 'just one more'. As our route home would be taking us past the popular (because it's easier to reach) Seven Sisters Falls we felt we had time for a short walk. Except it may have been shorter than the walk to Fontainbleu, but it was an awful lot more steep uppy and downy, big steps for my little legs. The path descended sharply, rose sharply, a flat bit and then were the Seven Sisters. IMHO not very impressive compared to Seven Sisters in Langkawi which are dramatic.
The walk
back to the car was hard. Our legs were tired. We'd run out of
energy.
we're going to walk up there 
pool at the bottom of the fall
