Also called the Pink Pillbox Hike, this short but steep trail on Oahu's west side leads to old World War II pillboxes, one painted pink for breast cancer awareness. From the top you can see the Pacific, the Waianae Range, and nearby valleys, and you may spot mountain goats. The trail is exposed with little shade, so bring sun protection and plenty of water.
