Along the way up the mountain are the multiple climate zones of Saba, including a cloud forest at the summit.

[8] About 100,000 years ago, another phase of volcanic activity created the hills that surround The Bottom.

The volcano was plugged by a massive basalt rock, which is why there is no typical volcanic crater at Mount Scenery's summit.

[8] During the early years of European settlement, Mount Scenery (known locally as "The Mountain" through the mid-20th century) was an important location for farming,[10] and through the late 19th and early 20th century, the majority of Saban families were dependent upon "farming The Mountain" or fishing.

[12] In the late 1960s, a stone stairway was built from Windwardside to the summit of Mount Scenery, consisting of 1,064 steps.

[20] The park supports eco-tourism, maintains the trail system, protects biodiversity, and preserves historical structures.

[8][21] Between 1992 and 2004, the Seismic Research Center in Trinidad operated a seismometer on Mount Scenery's summit.

In 2006, the Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute (KNMI) began monitoring seismic activity related to Mount Scenery.

[21] In 2022, the KNMI installed four cost-effective GNSS units Saba, one of which is located at the top of Mount Scenery.

The units are solar-powered, and were installed as part of a pilot study to assess the suitability of cost-effective GNSS use for monitoring volcanic activity.

[31] Hikers can see Elephant Ears (Taro), Mountain Fuchsia, Maxillaria Orchids, large Banana trees, and other flora.

[32] In 1972, British Cable & Wireless began construction of a microwave relay station at the top of Mount Scenery.

[13] Though no longer in operation, the relay station and tower still sit at the top of Mount Scenery today.
