Yon wout ki pa otowout soti Kingston rive Buff Bay nan Portland Parish swiv B1 atravè Blue Mountains, ki kouvri apeprè 59.1 kilomèt (36.72 mil) an anviwon de èdtan ak 32 minit.

Wout la ale nan direksyon lès soti Liguanea nan St. Andrew sou Old Hope Road pase Oak Gardens, ak Jamaica Bauxite Institute, Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Mining, katye jeneral Rural Agricultural Development Authority (RADA) ak Scientific Research Council yon bò, epi Garden Boulevard lòt bò a. Toupre Mona Heights li rive Papine Square, kote Hope United Church, University of Technology (UTech) ak John Golding Road — ki mennen nan University of the West Indies ak August Town — yo tou pre. Nan nò sou Gordon Town Road, pwen referans yo gen Papine High School, Vocational Training Development Institute (VTDI), Lookout, Hope River Dam ak Grove Primary School anvan Coupe Bridge epi vire a sou Irish Town Main Road, ke yo rele tou Newcastle Road.

Nan Craighton, Craighton Blue Mountain Coffee Estate gen Craighton House, ki te bati alantou 1805 epi ki pote non premye pwopriyetè a, George Craighton. Kay la chita apeprè 2,600 pye anwo nivo lanmè; yo renovè li pandan yo kenbe karaktè li, epi yo asosye li ak Sir John Grant, Earl of Elgin, Sir Henry Blake — gouvènè Jamayik an 1880 — ak atis Marianne North, ki gen travay yo ekspoze nan Kew an Angletè. Li te konn fè kafe nan ane 1800 yo; an 1981, Ueshima Coffee Company (UCC) Japon te achte pwopriyete a epi li te reviv kiltivasyon an; UCC Blue Mountain Coffee Jamaica Limited itilize bilding lan kounye a pou biwo ak maketing.

Apre Red Light, Catherine’s Peak leve toupre Newcastle a apeprè 1,520 mèt (4,987 pye). Newcastle, nan Blue Mountains nan St. Andrew, te kòmanse kòm yon estasyon milite Britanik nan mòn yo epi kounye a se yon kan antrènman Jamaica Defence Force. Konstriksyon an te kòmanse an 1841 anba Major General Sir William Gomm apre lafyèv jòn te frape twoup yo nan Kingston; British Board of Ordnance te apwouve yon kazèn pèmanan nan Desanm sa a. Nan 1842, sèlman 24 sou 197 sòlda ki te estasyone la te mouri, epi mòtalite a te kontinye desann. Grann Bretay te itilize pòs la jouk 1959, ki gen ladan rejiman Kanadyen pandan Dezyèm Gè Mondyal la. Apre sa li te antrene Federal Defence Force West Indies Federation, epi apre endepandans Jamayik sou 6 Out 1962 li te pase nan men gouvènman jamayiken an. De ti simityè toujou make sòlda ki te mouri la.
