Our take

Two and a half miles weaving in and out of gulches behind Pupukea, finishing along a dirt road with views to the Waiʻanae range and the north coast. Paperbark groves up top, a tangle of native and introduced forest between. It crosses a public hunting area, so wear bright colors and stay on trail.
