Pali Scenic Overlook

Perched along the Pali Highway in Kaneohe, this historic vantage point looks out over sweeping vistas of the lush windward valleys of Oahu. While the mountain pass is infamous for its powerful gusts of wind, the roadside area has a gentler novelty: a resident gathering of friendly wild chickens and cats hanging out together near the cars. It works as a quick, breezy pause along the drive, pairing wide-open island scenery with an unexpected local animal collective.
