The Popular Mānoa Falls Trail on Oʻahu Closed This Week
But there are lots of other great hikes on Oʻahu to trek.
The popular trail to Mānoa Falls on O‘ahu is closed starting Monday through Friday, July 12 for improvements to enhance the overall hiking experience, state officials said.
The 0.8-mile trail is expected to reopen on Saturday, July 13.
The work will include widening the trail corridor, installing new signs and reducing water runoff to address soil erosion and slippery conditions.
About 200,000 visitors hit this state-run trail every year. The high number of hikers coupled with the wet conditions in the valley have resulted in uneven terrain, making parts of the trail hazardous.
