What you'll see 🌄 Big views🌲 Old growth

Moderate = 2.2mi/3.54km total; 219ft/67m elevation gain; 2-3 hours. The trail leads you via ladders, steps, and ropes to a rocky beach, where you can enjoy the sound of the waves and take in the Western view of Pola Island.

Tips
Two to three hours. The ladder and rope sections are well maintained but need both hands free. The beach at the end is rock, not sand, and the surf can be dangerous.
Location

Vatia village, Tutuila
