One of our favorite short hikes on the Island, is the White road hike. It's not challenging at all and leads you to one of the most beautiful places...so it's fun to do with people of all ages. It starts on the outskirts of a town called Waimea, and the trail follows some irrigation canals through bamboo forest and rainforest.
At the end of the trail you find yourself feeling like you're a character in Jurraic Park, or Gorillas in the mist, as you stand overlooking the most beautiful lush canyons, leading to Waipio Valley. Cascading down the thick green canyon walls, are many waterfalls.
The only problem with this area is that it is wet most of the time, and there's a possibility that much of the hiking will be done in the rain. It makes for a pretty muddy trail - which can be a total blast if you don't mind a little dirt on your feet. There is always the possibility that when you reach the end, your view will be impaired by cloud cover, but either way, the scenery along the trail is absolutely gorgeous, and well worth going.
