Aloha,
DaBoyZ were looking for a new adventure and thought they had discovered a big loop that would take them back up to Pauoa Flats and around Mount Tantalus and down the mountain back into the Makiki Forest Recreation Area. Unfortunately the attempted hike didn't work out. No need to worry though, we still had a wonderful time and discovered a new trail we had only read about but couldn't find. This is the Kanealole Trail section. A very nice hike back into the Makiki Valley with a mini-botanical garden of Hawaiian plants towards the beginning of the trail (just after the first bridge after you get onto Kanealole Trail.
