Homelani Cemetery and Maunahui-Makakupaia 4X4 Trail parking

Homelani Cemetery is about 3.5 miles west of Kaunakakai off of Highway 460 and is where the Maunahui-Makakupaia 4X4 trailhead is located. Take the first right after passing the Molokai Seventh-day Adventist Church, just before a bridge; there is a small sign for the cemetery. The Maunahui-Makakupa'ia Trail begins just past the cemetery entrance and there are a few parking spots for you to leave your car at. Please be respectful of non-hikers or bikers there to pay their respects to loved ones when utilizing this trailhead. The first five miles of the ride are on a silty (be careful when descending this portion, the silt rides like sand) 4WD road with limited shade - try not to ride this in the full afternoon sun! After you enter the the forest preserve after these initial miles the ride turns truly beautiful as you ride through lush forests and to the Waikolu Overlook area.
