Description

This functional trail is a useful way for backpackers traveling between the Ka'aha camping area to points east in order to cut off some mileage. Starting from a junction with the Ka'aha Trail just north of the Ka'aha camping area, the Ka'aha - Hilina Pali Connector ascends the hillside above the coastal bluffs. Proceed northeast on a steady, dry climb until reaching a "T" junction with the Hilina Pali Trail.
