Waimea, HI 96796

Pu'u o Kila Lookout is a starting point for the Pihea Trail, located at the end of Highway 550 in Kōkeʻe State Park. The trail offers a 3.8-mile picturesque hike through Kauai’s native forest, providing opportunities to observe native forest birds and experience the diverse terrain of the Alakai Wilderness.

Visitors can enjoy stunning views from the Pihea Overlook, which marks the highest point overlooking the Kalalau Valley. However, caution is advised beyond this point due to steep terrain. The trail follows the northwestern bank of Kawaikoi Stream and leads to Kawaikoi Camp, offering a true immersion in the natural beauty of Hawaii.
