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.
