This hike makes a grand loop through Moanalua Valley, up Tripler Ridge to the Ko'olau summit, along the summit past several peaks and finally down another ridge back to the valley. Along the way are historical sites, lush jungle, big climbs and valley views. The portion along the Ko'olau Summit Trail is exciting and dangerous with dramatic narrow sections, towering leeward cliffs and panoramic views of both sides of the island.
