Best way to get to the top of El Yunque is to get there early. Start by Parking at the start of Mt. Britton Trail. Go to Mt. Britton Tower since its only about a half mile round way detour with great views. Then hike all the way through Mt Britton Spur, connect with El Yunque Trail and head for the summit. You can stop at los Picachos Trail and its tower, its about 1/4 mile detour with similar views as the previous tower.

When going back go through the service road. Only vehicles I've seen on it are power company trucks which rarely drive through. About 3 mile trip to the summit, maybe 1.5 miles on the way back on the service road which is incredibly easy. Then drive back down and go see all the waterfalls on the way.

Exactly. They just don't like the idea of going up steep shit.

Same fag who posted the map here.
I'd hardly call El Yunque steep. If anything it's just a long slow climb. Near the summit you'll get a few stretches where you will have to lift your knees, which is about as steep as it'll get. I've hiked up El Yunque many times before, with people who don't do a whole lot of physical activity and children. We got to the peak without any problems using my route. The most people should complain about is a good leg workout. Most people will stop every 2 minutes to take a picture anyway.

Sounds like you need new friends.
