DW's foot felt fine so we left LBR early in the morning and arrived at the Pihea Trailhead shortly after 8AM. When we arrived at the Pihea lookout, all we saw were clouds! Since DW's foot wasn't bothering her we continued on the trail. We came to the intersection of Pihea and Alakai Swamp Trail. We turned toward the Kilohana Vista. After crossing a small stream, we walked another 1/3 mile or so, then decided to head back since we didn't know how far it was to the end. We ran into a local who informed us the end was approximately 2-2.5 miles from where we were. We continued back to our start point since we wanted to get to Pilohana State Park as well.
In the end we hiked 4.7 miles. The trail has boards in some locations. They are in bad shape. They've started replacing some with composite decking boards. The trail has some interesting sections between the broken/rotten boards and red dirt and rock "scaling" sections. We thoroughly enjoyed the hike.
We stopped at Chicken in a Barrel (2nd day in a row) for a late lunch. After lunch, we went to Pilohana State Park to check out the beach. We didn't stay too long before deciding to head back. After arriving at LBR, we had shave ice from Riptides, the little drink/food stand in front of LBR. We're headed to the pool, then having leftovers for dinner. It was worth changing the reservation to LBR based on our use of the pool.
We depart early afternoon tomorrow so our time on the island is quickly coming to an end. This is my last post covering our activities.
