Guidebook for Kapolei
Parks & Nature
Tucked back in the Manoa Valley, this novice trail is chiefly shaded by tall trees that’ll protect you from the cruel, piping hot sun. Great for a quick day hike, the trail weaves through a forest of koa and paperbark trees, opening to 360-degree views of Waikiki, Wa'ahila Ridge, and the Koolau summit. Although the trail is well maintained, sporadic Manoa rains may turn dirt path into a muddy mess, so be sure don shoes with good traction, or don’t and be prepared to make a lot of jokes about how you had one too many “mudslides on the trail.”
