Manoa Cliff Trail leads from its trailhead along Round Top Drive, up to the intersection where the trail meets Pauoa Flats Trail and Puʻuʻohiʻa Trail. Here you can decide to expand your hike to a loop or walk back the way you came from. The Manoa Cliff Trail leads through beautiful forest, bamboo and offers spectacular views of the surrounding mountains.

Hiking

As much as this is a Cliff Trail, most of the walk is surrounded by foliage. It's a beautiful walk through bamboo and tall red trees with spongy soft bark?! Once you are up on the ridge there are so many options to extend your walk down to Round Top and back Manoa Falls.
