This is another great one on the east side of the island. The reason I mostly suggest hikes on this side is because it gets all the rain and this all the greenery and beautiful forests. The west side is known for being much hotter and dryer. This is somewhat challenging - not a great one after a rain as it's super slippery. You'll definitely see other people on this trail. The trail is open year-round and is beautiful to visit anytime
