Geocache Description:

This trail is possibly one of the easiest ways to access the ridge of the Koolau mountains. Two hours should be enough time for the roundtrip but plan on some time enjoying the view. Great views of Waimanalo, Kailua and the rest of the windward side.

Saw an albatross while I was up there and several ships.


Exerpt from Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner
By Samuel T. Coleridge

And a good south wind sprung up behind;
The Albatross did follow,
And every day, for food or play,
Came to the mariners' hollo!
In mist or cloud, on mast or shroud,
It perched for vespers nine;
Whiles all the night, through fog-smoke white,
Glimmered the white Moon-shine.

The new cache location is right beside the trail so please use some stealth if other hikers are nearby. Also, please cover the cache completely with cammo when you replace it.
