The Pipiwai Trail is a challenging 4-mile round trip, but the stunning views of Makahiku and Waimoku Falls make it well worth the effort. The path is well-maintained and winds around the Ohe’o Gulch Stream, offering a diverse range of scenery. You'll come across gorgeous waterfalls and lush forests, but the Bamboo forest is exceptionally breathtaking. It's best to run this trail in the early morning as it becomes much busier with tourists later in the day who come to view the falls.
