OVERVIEW |
|
| |
|
|
| |
The trail travels through a nutrient rich
forest of endemic Hawaiian plants and trees,
with many lookouts of the steep, folded pali
of the Awa'awapuhi and Nualolo Valleys.
Ending at a 2,500 foot open ridge, the route
gives hikers stellar views overlooking
towering sea cliffs and hanging valleys,
dropping to the pacific ocean. This trail
can also be combined with the
Nualolo and Nualolo
Cliff Trails for a great,
albeit strenuous, day hike....... |
