This is short hike that leads to the puka (hole). I think this is considered an easy hike, but windy. We took the trail on the ledge, but in some spots you can cut through the trees if you are really scared of heights.
Directions: Take the Pali exit. Follow the signs in the to the Pali Lookout. You will park there. The cost is free if you are a local or military member. Once your park, instead of going to the right to the lookout, you will continue straight to where the buses park. You will jump the wall where the broken part is in the wall. You will enter a bamboo forest. Just follow the trail all the way up until you get to the ridge line.
View from the parking lot.
The ridge line is like this. You will follow the trail past a utility pole.
There are some parts that go into the trees and a couple ropes. It is about a 30 minute hike up. Be aware that it is windy. Click the link to see my short video: Pali Puka.
Lean in to the left..at least the wind was blowing that way.
The Puka- be careful, there’s super strong winds that blow in!
Going back up from the Puka.
Standing on top of it. You can climb up, but just be careful! There is a rope there.
Tips: A small bottle water. It’s maybe a mile and a half there and back.
