Blunts Point Trail Details
The Blunt's Point hike is a good option for those looking to explore some of the WWII history associated with the American Samoa. Though short, the trail does have some ups-and-downs and is buggy, so be prepared to sweat a bit and wear bug repellent. Two WWII era cannons mark the beginning of the hike and there are a few more gun emplacement nests further up the trail. The Blunts Point trail is also a great place to go bird watching - nests line the trail. The trail ends in a spooky old tramway. The trail is located between Faga'alu and Utulei on the coast road.
