Halawaのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

This unpaved "road" — really, just a nice walking trail — used to be an access point for the Moanalua Ridge Trail, a route up to the "backside" of the Haiku Stairs. That route is now closed and people who've tried to sneak through have gotten tickets, so it's better not to risk it. The early part of the road is interesting in and of itself, though, thanks to interpretive signs that point out natural history and relics.

Right about here you'll see a side trail on your left. This is the access route for Kalauao Falls, but be warned that the 'Aeia Ridge and Loop trails generally make a much nicer — and less muddy — adventure.

This viewpoint gives you great views of the ruggedly beautiful Halawa Valley to your south. The road running through it is Hawaii's H3 interstate highway. Yes, you read that correctly—it's technically considered an interstate, even though it only traverses the one island. If conditions allow you can even see all the way to the city of Honolulu, also to your south.

This is one of many points along the 'Aiea Ridge Trail (which transects the 'Aiea Loop) that give a great viewpoint over Pearl Harbor. It's an evocative place, where you can easily imagine what it might have been like to witness the Japanese attack on the harbor that triggered the United States' entrance into World War II.

On this point of the trail you are on the top of a cliff with the Halawa Valley and the highway below. The highway adds a certain element to the view by providing a reference point to show just how big the valley actually is.

Once you reach the peak of Kahoʻomoeʻihikapulani at almost 2,700 feet, you will forget about the struggles along the hike. Enjoy the views to both sides of the island and give yourself a long break before you hike back. You deserve it!

Please be aware, that the hike along Tripler Ridge Trail is very challenging, partly overgrown and includes many exposed sections. But if you're in good shape and up for an adventure, this is the perfect hike for you, and you will certainly be rewarded!

Widely known for the infamous attack on Pearl Harbor, you get a nice view of exactly that location from this spot along ʻAiea Loop Trail.
