Maunawili Trail
by ALOHA DEAN
Maunawili Demonstration Trail we started
with our host Glenn from Olomana Garden.
He chose path through tunnel (water supply for Valley) and we hike
the top, Beautiful Lookout and back trail end on Waikapunaha St. in Waimanalo.
Maunawili Valley is pulled back out of sight so we miss the incredible nature
walk that follows the base of the mountain from the Pali to Waimanalo. It
is few mile trek, but totally enjoyable starting off in Guava thickets and
varying through Ironwoods, Koa, Mountain Apple, Kukui, Ohia Lehua, huge
Bird's nest and Mule's foot ferns, Hapu'u and wild orchids.
