A more lightly trafficked trail to a peak in the Ko’olau Range that starts at elevation and maintains amazing views of the valleys below the whole way through as you navigate up and down towards the peak. The back half of the hike is through narrow ferns that will scratch up your legs, so wear pants if you don’t want to suffer too much. The view at the end is worth it.
