The Pink Pillbox

Since moving to Hawaii, I've wanted to do the Pu'u'ohulu Kai hike, also known as the Pink Pillbox. Well, I was finally able to mark it off my list!

We started out kinda late in the day (later than I normally like to hike), and headed to the west side of the island.

The hike itself wasn't bad. The beginning has a semi-steep incline but nothing crazy. The best part was the fact that the hike wasn't overly crowded. I feel like so many times we miss out on beautiful sights due to the crowds.

There are 3 pillboxes you can see, go into and climb on top of. The views are absolutely phenomenal.

Tips for this hike:

• Bring lots of water, especially if you go later in the day.
• Don't leave anything of value in your car.
• Be safe. There are some tricky parts on the hike, with some drop-offs.
• But most of all, take some time to sit at the top and take in the scenery. 

Have you ever been to the Pink Pillbox? What did you think? Do you plan on visiting it one day?
