Forbidden Island is a small island of the coast of southeast Saipan. On P Day we went with the Elders and Sisters on a hike to the island. It involved a very difficult hike down the side of a cliff with only steady feet and an occasional rope to steady the climb. We did not go all the way down to the island because we knew from experience that what goes down must also go up and we were not sure about that commitment. We did sit on a ledge for about an hour overlooking the beautiful scenery and watching the ocean waves of the Pacific slam against the island and surrounding rocks. The area is a top attraction for snorkeling and scuba diving and is a resting place for sharks and large turtles.
