Hike description: This tough, less used ungraded ridge trail now goes all the way to the Ko'olau summit. The final stretch to the Ko'olau summit was completed only three years ago. If you've done Manana countless times, give this hike a try. If you have more than one car, leave the second car in the parking area below the Waimano Ridge Trailhead then go up Waiau and down Waimano.
