Manoa Falls

Located in the back of Manoa Valley is Manoa Falls Trail.  To get their just follow Manoa Road as it continues to the back of the valley.  There is an area called Paradise Park where you can park your car for $5.oo.   Here you can find a snack shop and restroom facilities.  This is a well-used trail.  It’s a valley hike which means mud and mosquitos may be an issue.  Be sure to bring some bug repellent and shoes you don’t mind getting dirty.  Along the way you’ll see beautiful plants and tree’s.  One of my favorites is the bamboo forest.  The falls at the end can be very small at times.  If you’re doing this hike to see a waterfall you should go after a good rain.  If the falls aren’t that full at the time you go the fauna along the way more than make up for it.
