Mount Britton Trail and Tower in El Yunque National Forest, Puerto Rico
Mount Britton is one of the highest points in El Yunque National Forest. Because of it's elevation and the fact that El Yunque is a Rain Forest, you will find most days look like our video. We were in a complete white out because the clouds just roll over the peak. While visibility was minimal up on Mt. Britton, it was still very good at elevations about 1,000 feet lower. For example, Yokahu Tower, which is the other tower in El Yunque, was clear throughout this same day of filming at the Mt. Britton Tower.
Mount Britton Trail ascends quite rapidly, but is a very well cared for trail with concrete pathways. As you get closer to the peak you will hike a short distance on the service road before taking a sharp right and ascending the rest of the way up to Mt. Britton Tower. This tower is the highest tower in El Yunque. If you are lucky enough to catch it on a clear day, the view is breathtaking.

More info:
Constructed of stone, the tower was built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the 1930s. Both tower and mountain are named for botanist Nathaniel Britton who with his wife and colleague, Elizabeth Knight Britton identified a substantial amount of the native and endemic tree and plant species of the Luquillo mountains in the 1920s. On a clear day the tower’s observation deck affords the lucky hiker a panoramic view of the surrounding forest, the Atlantic Ocean, the Caribbean Sea and the southeastern and northeastern coastal plain.

El Yunque National Forest, formerly known as the Luquillo National Forest and the Caribbean National Forest, is a forest located in northeastern Puerto Rico. It is the only tropical rain forest in the United States National Forest System. The forest is commonly known as El Yunque, which may be attributed to either a Spanish approximation of the aboriginal Taíno word yu-ke which means white lands, or the word anvil, which is yunque in Spanish. The second-tallest mountain within El Yunque is also named El Yunque. El Yunque National Rainforest is located on the slopes of the Sierra de Luquillo mountains, encompassing 28,000 acres (43.753 mi² or 113.32 km²) of land, making it the largest block of public land in Puerto Rico. El Toro, the highest mountain peak in the forest rises 1,065 metres (3,494 ft) above sea level. Ample rainfall (over 200 inches a year in some areas) creates a jungle-like setting — lush foliage, crags, waterfalls, and rivers are a prevalent sight. The forest has a number of trails from which the jungle-like territory's flora and fauna can be appreciated. El Yunque is also renowned for its unique Taíno petroglyphs.

This is an awesome drone video of El Yunque National Forest. A tropical rainforest in northeastern Puerto Rico. Trails run to La Mina waterfall and Mount Britton, then up to the high-altitude dwarf forest. In the south are ancient petroglyphs, made by the area’s indigenous Taíno people. The forest comes alive with the nightly calls of coquí tree frogs. -From Google things to do in puerto rico.
A great place to visit in Puerto Rico, beautiful waterfalls and sights that get no justice from photos alone. Take a trip from old San Juan and visit this breathtaking rainforest.

Exploring El Yunque Rainforest | Photography in Puerto Rico
VLOG 141 - April 2, 2017 - Exploring El Yunque Rainforest PR
In this Puerto Rico Travel vlog I explore the El Yunque Rainforest in northeastern of the beautiful country of Puerto Rico. I explore many of the park trails like Mina waterfall, la coca and Mount Britton, then up to the high-altitude dwarf forest. El Yunque is the only tropical rain forest in the United States National Forest System. El Yunque National Rainforest is located on the slopes of the Sierra de Luquillo mountains, encompassing 28,000 acres of land, making it the largest block of public land in Puerto Rico. The forest has a number of trails from which the jungle-like territory's flora and fauna can be appreciated. El Yunque is also renowned for its unique Taíno petroglyphs and the nightly calls of coquí tree frogs.

Yokahu Observation Tower- El Yunque National Forest, Puerto Rico with J. Adan Ruiz
There is no doubt that Yokahu Tower is one of the top two or three spots in all of El Yunque National Forest. Yokahu Tower is one of two observation towers that you can climb to the top for outstanding views.
Yokahu Tower is the more consistent of the two towers when it comes to weather. The other tower is Mount Britton Tower, which is located at a much higher elevation and usually has cloud cover that interferes with the views. The other major benefit to Yokahu Tower is the ease of access. The tower is maybe thirty feet away from the parking lot with no elevation change until you start to climb the tower. On the opposite end of the spectrum, Mt. Britton Tower requires a good amount of exertion to hike a trail which ascends rapidly through the forest before reaching the tower.
