Ma`akua Ridge Trail (Papali Trail)

Overview: Ma`akua Ridge Trail (Papali Trail) is about 2.9 miles long and located near Hau‘ula, Hawaii. The trail is great for trail running and normally takes 1-3 hours. At less than three miles, it's a nice  distance, and with lots of shade, it's a good one to do any time, any season.  This one can be a bit moister than the Hau`ula Loop Trail.

Tips: Tell someone where you're going.
Hike or run with a buddy.
Bring water; while the jungle segments remain moist, the nearest water is back at the beach. 
Park at Hau‘ula Beach Park, Hauula, HI 96717.  Don't leave valuables in your car; the signs are there for a reason.
