List of things to see:
War in the Pacific National Historical Park is comprised of the T. Stell Newman Visitor Center and seven National Park Service sites located throughout Guam. The units are at Asan Beach, Asan Overlook, Piti Guns, Mt. Tenjo/Mt. Chachao, Apaca Point, Mount Alifan and Fonte Plateau
Description of tourist site:
Asan lookout may look good or bad, depending on the weather. If its a rainy day, then you'll probably have a bad experience. If its a sunny day, then you'll have a great time. You can see the beautiful ocean and trees at the bottom of the lookout. You may also see Rota, if you look close. Going higher up the lookout, you will see plaques of the fallen troops and civilians that died during the war. Some plaques were stolen from families, so they can remember their past loved ones. They have been replaced, so there won't be any troubles with other families mourning their loved ones.
