Description:
The photographer posted this photo on June 9, 2019.
Pu’u O Kila Lookout has an amazing payoff for just a short walk up a ramp from your car. The valley is often cloudy and foggy though, so you may need to try and time your visit just right. Morning (between 8:00 AM and 11:00 AM) is usually the best time to catch this jaw-dropping view in full sunlight.
Navigate to “Pu’u O Kila Lookout” on Google Maps. It is located at the very end of Highway 550 in Kōkeʻe State Park, on the Kauia Island of Hawai’i. Take Highway 50 west from Hanapepe toward Waimea. Turn right on Waimea Canyon Road just after Mile Marker #23. Pu’u O Kila Lookout is located at the end of the road at Mile Marker #19.
