Geocache Description:

The cache is located on the Koolau Summit Trail between the Hawaii Loa and Kulepeamoa Summits.

The cache can be reached by going up either the Kulepeamoa Ridge trail or the Hawaii-Loa Ridge trail. Either way, it should be only a short cross over to the cache which is located almost exactly between the two.

 

The Cross-Over Cache Series is made for those hikers/cachers that want to do more than make it to the Summits of the KST. They offer better views than the summit caches as they afford a better vantage point of the valleys between the ridge trails. If you should go on a dry day with clear skies, you will be rewarded with spectacular views. So bring your camera!

With that being said, the Cross-Over Caches are inherently more dangerous and should only be attempted by experiences hikers. You are under no obligation to go after these caches. Know you're own limits.

Micro-spikes and gloves are recommended. Rain gear is also good to have. Always hike with a friend (enemies not recommended) and always tell  someone (not hiking with you) your plans and estimated time of return.
