Mauna Lahilahi

Ku'uipo stays within walking distance from Mauna Lahilahi in the Makaha Valley area of Wai'anae.  Mauna Lahilahi is basically a giant lava rock.  There are signs that tell you it is dangerous territory.  Upon walking in, Ku'uipo and Trevor were greeted by two hens and a rooster.  Further into the foothills of Mauna Lahilahi are homeless camps but the people aren't out to bother hikers.

Short hike, mostly climbing rocks.  Steep, but stable.  No need for too much hiking gear.  A fanny pack was just fine.  Some people may need both hands free to grab onto rocks.

Trailhead is on Lahilahi street.

Gate is closed, so step over rocks.
