Pillbox Hike - Kailua

I hiked the Pillbox trail in Kailua with Diana Higbee. The trail is mildly steep at the outset but levels off once a ridge is achieved. The "pillboxes" are a series of bunkers I assume were built during WWII in response to the war with Japan. The views from the ridge do not disappoint, and I recommend continuing along the ridge all the way back to street level at Koohoo Place which allows you to complete a 3 mile loop.
