Ka'ena Point

A perfect hike to experience during the winter months is Ka'ena Point located on the far west side of the island of Oahu. It is a very easy trail with no inclines but it is a beautiful view of the coastline. You walk along an old dirt road next to the coastline and during the winter months you can see whales breaching in the distance. It is amazing! At the end of the three mile walk you come to a Reserve Park where you can see birds and seals. If you decide to continue through the park and go a few more miles you will come to the north side of the trail. An excellent workout! Some people ride bikes along this trail which I would love to do next.  I have taken my dogs a handful of times because I have seen others do the same but a man approached me once saying I would get a few hundred dollar ticket if I didn't take my dogs off the trail. I then researched this when I went home and it says dogs are only not allowed in the Reserve Park... it is still a blurred topic, but my dogs LOVE this trail. It's a gamble if you decide to go with your pets.
Also, as you approach the beach heading to the trail on the main road, you will see a huge cave on the right hand side. There is a small parking opportunity on the left. I suggest checking it out. It is very cool when you walk inside, creepy too!
