Waipio Valley Rim Trail

Does anyone know how to get to the trailhead that goes to the back rim of Waipio Valley on the Big Island of Hawaii? I was there once before, but that was 12 years ago and I can%26#39;t remember how we got there from Kamuela. Mahalo.

I think you mean the White Road hike. It%26#39;s not feasible now. Kapu.





The forest reserve closed off that part, reportedly to protect the water supply. The landowners have closed access (reportedly due to overuse and abuse) to the forest reserve section.

Many sections of that beautiful trail also slid



off the cliffs during the 2006 earthquake.



But, if it ever does open again it was a mind blowing hike!




Part of the trail is on a private property and the landowner decided to close it down about a year ago.
