Intermediate Hill Lookout
Intermediate Hill
A viewing platform on a 250-meter hill in the island's center. The trail is short and gentle, and from here you can see both the lagoon and the open ocean on the east coast.
Intermediate Hill is south of the airport, at about 250 meters elevation. From the trailhead, a forest path takes about 30 to 45 minutes to reach the summit viewing platform. The hike is easy enough for the whole family. The platform offers a 360-degree view. To the west are the lagoon and the direction of Kim's Lookout, to the east are Blinky Beach and the Pacific Ocean, and to the south is the cliff face of Mount Lidgbird. The light is best in the early morning or late afternoon.
