We are near the end of rainy season (Nov-March). It’s been raining on and off throughout the island, especially in Koolau mountain areas. So, we decided somewhere in Waianae mountain ranges. After hiking Kaena Pt and Mokuleia Access Rd / Kealia Trail, we decided to hike Makaha Ice Ponds trail.
We were planning to hike to the Ice Ponds which is quite easy. After seeing the ponds, we decided to go beyond since its trail looked so nice. We hiked another 2.5 miles beyond the ponds and turned around since we did not have a map or its surrounding topography. To the Makaha Ice Ponds, it is about 6.2miles roundtrip with 1100 ft elev gain. We went further and our trip was 11.7 miles with 2187 ft elev gain.
