KUILAU RIDGE TRAIL
Kuilau Ridge Trail is a very nice hike. The first
part is on an asphalt base path that has a
gentle incline. After about 30 minutes (i mile
mark) you will reach a small grassy picnic area
overlooking a valley. You can see Mt. Wai’ale’
ale if it’s clear. Continue down the path to the
right to see winding, rolling hills and a view to
the Nounou Mouintains and ocean. Once you
reach the wooden bridge you reach the end of
the Kuilau Ridge Trail and the start of the
Moalepe Trail.
To get to Kuilau Ridge Trail you continue to
drive past Opaekaa Falls to the end of the
road. Just before you get to the Keahua
Arboretum and the first stream crossing. The
trail is on the right.
Total round trip distance is 4 1/2 miles and
760 feet elevation change.
