Kaipapa`u-Koloa Loop

or

Koloa-Kaipapa`u Loop

Sunday January 23rd 2005


I guess you could call this loop either of the two above names.  Just depends which way you go.  Clockwise would be Kaipapa`u-Koloa.  Counter clockwise would be Koloa-Kaipapa`u.  Either way we began by meeting at the north end of  Kokololio Beach Park or sometime known as "Pounders" at around 8 a.m.  Fifteen or so minutes later we truck pooled up to the trail head and began hiking around 8:30.  I went with the clockwise group as I seem to think it is easier to get the open ridge hike done earlier in the morning.  You can get more information about this hike and more views by looking at the web page for the last clearing I did.

It looks like I didn't take a whole lot of pictures this time.  Here is one of Peter working .

Here is a panorama taken at the lower bunker.  It's the first time I've been to this one.
