Kaluwaa Loop Trail Ekahanui Gulch A very short novice loop trail in the southern windward Waianaes that will delight even the most expert of botanical gurus. |
|
Kanehoa-Hapapa Summit Trail Puu Kanehoa, Puu Hapapa An exquisite crest-hike atop the narrow Waianae spine with panoramic views of central and leeward Oahu. Gain the Waianae crest via one of the ridges (Kanehoa or Hapapa), then descend the other. |
|
Kaua Trail Kaua A relatively quick, but pulse-pounding, ascent to 360-degree panoramic views of the Nanakuli coast, the central plains, and the entire Koolau Range atop the island's fifth highest peak. |
|
Makua Rim Trail Three Corners A continuation of Kuaokala Ridge, this ungraded ridgeline path behind Makua Valley brings you out of Pahole NARS to the distinct "three corners" triple-ridge junction before Mt. Kaala. Arguably, this is one of the best viewspots on the island. |
|
Kealia Trail If you're looking to avoid trespassing issues, dangerous climbs, and extremely lengthy hikes but want a taste of what hiking in the Waianaes has to offer, this is the trail for you! This trail also has the distinction of being one of the very few Oahu mountain trails which start near sea level. |
|
Dupont Trail Kamananui Ridge, Dupont, De Ponte Not the longest, but the tallest and one of the oldest trails on the island. One of a handful of trails that start near sea-level, this is the only one which sports both a 4,000-foot climb and a visit to Mount Kaala - Oahu's highest peak. |
