Hidden gem on North Shore worth the effort

One of the island's most unique hikes, Kealia Trail and Access Road is also one of the most overlooked and unappreciated.

Sure, it's something of an acquired taste, but while its profile may not sound particularly attractive — a seemingly endless series of switchbacks at the start; steep climbs up a broad dirt trail; and close proximity to a popular hunting area — it does offer a great, elevated perspective of the activity around the bordering glider port, a safe but worthy challenge for trailrunners and other fitness buffs, and stunning views of Makua Valley and the Wai'anae Mountain range for hikers who don't mind also glancing at wire fences, shot-riddled hunting signs and an occasional water tank.
