However\, it might be better suited to those with a little more stamina as there are some steep inclines to contend with. It takes between one to two hours to complete the 2.2-mile journey and is pleasant to travel as it is not overly crowded. Everyone can park in the Ko’olau Shopping Center across from the Valley of the Temples. Follow the guardrail to the hike trailhead linked. \nThis is an excellent option as it is a shorter hike that gives you excellent views of the windward side of the island. It does take some effort and can be slippery with mud following rain. While much of the trail is through a forested area\, you will get peeks at the views and come across some lookout points overlooking K-Bay. Your goal is to reach the pillbox to get the full expanse of the bay below. The pillbox is one of many small bunkers/lookouts built by the military in World War II. The pillboxes have the best views on the island. \nYou’ll also have a perfect view of the Ko’olau Mountain Range before the trail heads into the trees that take you to the pillbox. Many of the steep areas have a rope to hold onto. Watch for the sign called “Digging Hill\,” and you’ll just be a few minutes from the pillbox. Take your time to look at the stunning expanse of the windward coast where you’ll spot Mokoli’i Island\, K-\, Bay and its many sandbars.
