Pu'u Hinahina Lookout

Highlight • Viewpoint

This is one of the best possible viewpoints into the rugged beauty of Waimea Canyon, sometimes known as the Grand Canyon of the Pacific. On a clear day you can see far out across the Pacific Ocean, too, but even a clear morning can easily turn rainy or foggy by the afternoon.

Puʻu Hinahina Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

The scenic Pu'u Hinahina trail is well-maintained but can get muddy when wet, so take caution while running. Also, if you're lucky, you may run into wild roosters roaming the path.
