Tips from the Community

Christopher
October 12, 2023, Schofield Barracks and Wheeler Army Airfield

Schofield Barracks saw considerable damage and casualties during the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. The barracks suffered collateral damage as it was positioned right beside the Wheeler Airfield. This happened during the first phase of the Pearl Harbor Attack. By destroying much of the US warplanes in Oahu, the Japanese were cleared to launch a virtually efficient air raid on the US Navy in Pearl Harbor.

Lower Waimano Trail and Upper Waimano Trail run parallel to each other and meet again after the first section, so actually it's up to you, which trail you prefer. The biggest advantage of the Lower Waimano Trail is, that it's a little further away from the street, and you don't have to hike along a fence. If you're hiking the loop, it makes sense to use both trails in one direction each.

Even though this little 'hike' through Wahiawa Botanical Garden probably won't get your heart pumping, it's still a very nice stroll through nature with many interesting information plaques about the local flora and fauna. The perfect recovery before your next, challenging hike!

Wahiawā Hills Trail is a relatively easy and short trail in the Ewa Forest Reserve. But be aware that there are still a lot of ups and downs, so you will certainly get your exercise. The trail crosses the river multiple times, and you can take a dip in one of the pools along the trail in the middle of the wooded landscape.
