Description
This connector trail has been reopened! It was a nice way to be able to see both the Awaawapuhi Trail and the Nu`alolo Trail in one day. This trail includes a small waterfall and two small stream crossings. Much less elevation change than the trails it connects and also much less used/worn. You can also see the Nu`alolo Valley in a few places along the way. Some sections are wooded and some are along the cliffs. The end near the Nu`alolo Trail has quite steep terrain and can be challenging if it has recently rained.
