Be aware that trekking the Haiku Stairs (Stairway to Heaven) is prohibited, whether you're starting in the valley (potential fine of $600+ and controls are tight) or walking down from the top.

Moanalua Ridge Trail

It's muddy even in better weather. But down at the parking lot there are ways to clean your completely dirty hiking boots (and everything else).

Kamananui Valley Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

This unpaved "road" — really, just a nice walking trail — used to be an access point for the Moanalua Ridge Trail, a route up to the "backside" of the Haiku Stairs. That route is now closed and people who've tried to sneak through have gotten tickets, so it's better not to risk it.

The early part of the road is interesting in and of itself, though, thanks to interpretive signs that point out natural history and relics.
