Cliff Trail Lookout offers a unique hiking experience on the scenic island of Kauai. Situated in a rugged, northwest landscape, this trail presents a moderately challenging route with varied terrains, including mud and steep climbs. Hikers can expect a trek of about four miles round-trip. While the final destination features a smaller waterfall, stunning panoramic views of the canyon are a highlight along the way. Watch for local wildlife, including goats, and enjoy the lush vegetation typical of Hawaii. There are no restroom facilities after the parking lot, so plan accordingly. This area is also known for its dark skies, making it a potential spot for stargazing post-hike.
