The Awa'awa'puhi Trail is one of the most popular hiking trails on Kauai. The trailhead is located just past the town of Kokee, and the trail winds its way through the dense jungle for about three miles before reaching a spectacular overlook. From the overlook, hikers can see all the way to the north shore of the island.
Although the actual trail is quite well-shaded, it is not particularly picturesque, t he view at the end, assuming it is not clouded out, is the real show-stopper.

The views at the end are absolutely breath taking, but be sure to check the weather before you head out to make sure your views are not clouded in.
Make sure to wear hiking boots because the trail can be slick at some points and bring plenty of water.
The trail can be crowded on weekends, so it's best to start early in the day to avoid the crowds.
