This hiking trail starts in the back of a neighborhood. The hike is an out and back trail approximately 2 miles each way, 4 miles total. The trail is well maintained but it takes about 3 and a half hours to complete. There is a significant elevation change on the hike but it is all worth it in the end. It seems like a pretty boring nature walk most of the way until you get to the very top, where you will having stunning views of the entire island. Unlike stairway to heaven, this hike is fully legal. Hike is mostly shaded, but you will still need water for this hike.

This is simple up and down hike with a view from the light house at the end. There is a secret off chute that adventure seekers can take that leads down to an area known as the Makapu'u tide pools. If you are seeking the tide pools be careful, you will want hiking shoes. We do not recommend hiking to the tide pools if the wave conditions are not right.
