Waipi’o Valley Lookout

There are 7 valleys along the north east side of the island. Pololu (the valley we visited yesterday) is the northernmost valley and this is the Southernmost. The road in is treacherous and the people who live there are not welcoming so we took in the view from the lookout. In fact hikers are turned away and the are multiple signs indicating that the road is now closed. We did see one local 4WD pickup go through, but it was clear that they are from here. Anyhow- the views were incredible and the valley seems lovely even from above. 

There are many interesting historical tidbits about this valley. King Kamehameha was raised here. The whole place was wiped out in the 1946 tsunami.
