Kamanaiki in Kalihi with HTMC

By gaynork

Saturday morning we joined the HTMC for a Kalihi hike on the Kamanaiki trail.  This is a nice moderate hike with just a few narrow, steep sections – nothing too hairy.  The start of the trail is unique.  Narrow stairs ascend right between two houses and continue up to a water tank.  After the tank, the trail mostly follows a ridge up to a clearing with a view of the Kalihi Valley on one side and Kamanaiki Valley on the other.  Squawking chickens and barking dogs composed the sound track.
