Geocache Description:

Spikes recommended for portions of this hike. Round trip, 4 mile, 3-4 hour hike (including other caches on way up) in Kaua‘ōpu‘u Ridge area for a small cache and a view overlooking Waianae

Parking and Trailhead at address below. (End of narrow Waianae Valley Rd) Ka'ala Hiking Trail 85-1759A Waianae Congrats to Skotlee, kailua_matt & Quest.808 for FTF!

Use satellite or hybrid for imagery if using phone to more easily navigate directions identified in CO pics with notes for each pic. Intermediate to slightly advanced hike with a great payoff view. See images for some assistance. NO NOT go in darkness!!!!! Park, take paved trail up, then small trail right to large off-road road. Follow to Turn waypoint. Drop into trees and follow across a stream. Once across look for visual markers on trees. Don't follow blue arrow, take yellow trail to the right. Follow to a small circular clearing and stay right as you keep going up. Up higher, walk with cliff ledge above you to the left and you're close to saddle at the top for your first great view. See "Great View" image. Left is a different cache about 900 fit away, to the right is a climb through some foliage and then the view opens up before a drop as you push through an obvious small but overgrown trail that leads very close to GZ.
