DaBoyZ05  > Hikes > St. Louis Heights (05/24/09)
Aloha,
DaBoyZ decided to do another hike atop Saint Louis Heights. We followed this bike bath that we had never gone on before that took us back along the road and along the ridge nearest the homes of Saint Louis Heights. As we hiked down the mountain we came upon a homeless encampment and a dead end. We turned back around and started to hike back up the mountain. We came upon this open area as someone yelled out "HIKERS!". We thought we were being ambushed but quickly realized that it was just a bunch of people playing paintball in the woods. After we walked around them we came to this steep hill and took turns running down the hill. We then followed the gully down and connected back with the one of the numerous trails that drop you near the Hawaiian Studies department at the University of Hawai'i at Manoa!

DaBoyZ05 > Wa'ahila Ridge State Recreation Area
DaBoyZ05 > Fresh air and wonderful views along with picnicking and hiking opportunities are all just a short drive from urban Honolulu.
DaBoyZ05 > Located on the very top of Saint Louis Heights, the drive to the park entrance is barely two miles from the H-1 freeway but light years from the urban Honolulu heat and traffic.
DaBoyZ05 > The small entrance to the park can be found by following narrow neighborhood roads up Saint Louis Heights to the end of Ruth Place.
DaBoyZ05 > The drive brings you up the steep streets and through the quiet hillside residential area past homes that are easily 40 or 50 years old.
DaBoyZ05 > The two lane gated entry is lined with tall Norfolk pine trees and wild roosters and hens can be seen wandering about.
DaBoyZ05 > The 50 acre park is cool, breezy and has an abundance of shade, picnic tables, benches, barbecue grills and a bathroom.
DaBoyZ05 > The quiet setting attracts families who prefer the cool upland breezes to the hot beaches for a leisurely family outing.
DaBoyZ05 > One can enjoy magnificent views of Manoa Valley and Tantalus along with the sound of the trade winds as is rushes through the tall trees and dense vegetation.
