Twice in the last four days friends and I have been able to hike to Pagat cave and then to the ocean. This cave is close to my house, an an awesome medium-difficulty level hike with some rocky climbs and mossy floors. It's mostly shaded, which means we could go any time of the day, even in the hot afternoon. At the bottom of the hike is a beautiful cave that hikers wade into and then light candles to illuminate the rocks while we relax or swim.
Past the cave is a hike up through an ancient Chamorro village with grinding stones, latte stones (old housing supports), and leftover pottery pieces.
Beyond that is coral, an arch, and beautiful views of the ocean. I hope to do this hike one more time before the government completely takes over the cave and closes it down. Guam has some wonderful sites- this is one of my new favorites.
