Kokee Museum is a great stop and for most people the restuarant is a must after the trip up to the lookouts and back require a break. Keep in mind the temperture is cool at the Kalalau Valley lookout. Several trails start from the parking lot. The shop next door have trail maps and lots of local knowledge.
