LAIE RIDGE

Lengthly, low-trafficked ridge gives you a uniquely beautiful perspective of windward and central Oahu. Long pants encouraged.

PU'U OHULEHULE--NORTHEAST RIDGE

Strenuous, sketchy, and overgrown, but the incredible views of Kualoa Ranch and the windward coast make this challenging ridge worth it.

MOANALUA MIDDLE RIDGE to HAIKU STAIRS

TRIPLER RIDGE

Low-trafficked Ko'olau finger ridge with beautiful 360 summit views on a clear day. As a bonus, take the KST to the iconic haiku stairs.

BOWMAN TRAIL

Long, grueling ridge to the Ko'olau summit. Expect a few scrapes and muddy shoes, but also some great views on this tough ridge.
