Kuli’ou’ou Ridge

Kuliouou Ridge trail is a beautiful hike.  While hiking up in elevation, you experience several different kinds of vegetation.  The trail is usually dry but still shaded.  Some of the vegetation you’ll see are native shrubs called ulei, Lama trees that bear a red fruit and then a large forest of Cook pines.  You have a choice on this hike.  Go up to the picnic table and back.  This would be a good hike for professionals and novices alike.  Or, hike all the way over the Ko’olau mountains and view the windward coast below you.  Located on the edge of Hawaii Kai just turn mauka down Kuliouou Road.  Follow this road to Kala’au Place then park just before the roads ends at the turnaround circle.
