The visitor center at Pago Plaza, one scenic overlook (Amalau Valley), and the 1/4 mile gravel trail to the Pola is wheelchair accessible. No other pull-outs or over-looks have been developed at this time and trails are unimproved, extremely steep and rugged.
Pacific golden plover in breeding plumage—soon to be flying 5,500 miles to the Alaskan Arctic  

Did You Know?
During northern summers, three shorebirds--plover, turnstone, and tattler--nest in Alaska and northern Canada. After nesting, they fly non-stop over 3,000 miles of open ocean to Hawaii. After briefly resting there, they fly more thousands of miles to Samoa. The round-trip is 11,000 miles.
