I hiked to the Koolau Summit Ridge on the Manana Trail to see the native plants and flowers that live in the mountains above Pu’uloa (Pearl Harbor).
I joined the trail maintenance crew of the Hawaiian Trail and Mountain Club (HTMC) to clear the trail that leads to a charming pool and waterfall in the very back of Koloa Gulch in Hau’ula.
For the past several months I have been hiking up and down a series of adjacent ridges and gullies off the Kumaipo Trail to explore the native plants and animals that live in the dry forests below Kawiwi.
