This cache is an easy stroll on a beautiful well maintained trail. Over the bridge, and between the trail and the stream. Cache is off the main trail in the shady trees. Be careful, the footing can be loose, and the vegetation is tangled. Take a break and enjoy, especially relaxing if the stream is running. Cache is a few feet above ground level. Please be careful after heavy rainfall, the stream may be high.
Congratulations to Hiloshell & Del for FTF.
Please close container and replace as found. Please note: This is a daytime use only park and trail. Users and hikers after dark can disturb the neighboring residents (or their pets).
To get to the park: Look for the sign on Mamalahoa Hwy with the Kamehameha Statue for Ulu La'au - The Waimea Nature Park. (see photo below) It is just past the traffic lights in Waimea heading south towards Kona.
As you enter the park, you will be greeted with this sign.
Once your inside Ulu La'au, there are places to park your car. There are also a few picnic tables you can use. This is a wonderful little park! Get on the "stream trail" as indicated by this sign (see below) and head for the cache site. Check your GPS to make sure you headed in the right direction (toward the cache), because the trail goes in the other direction too.
Here is a link to the www site for the trail. http://www.waimeatrails.org/ This is an easy walk, pet friendly (must be on leash). Have fun! Cache is a mini so please bring your own pen.
