DESCRIPTION:  SIMILAR TO AIEA LOOP WITH A BIT OF AN EDGE. WAHIAWA HILLS IS A LOOP TRAIL THAT INITIALLY DIPS DOWN INTO THE VALLEY, CLIMBS AN ADJACENT RIDGE THEN BACK DOWN TO A SWIMMING HOLE BEFORE RETURNING UP THE ORIGINAL RIDGE TO COMPLETE THE LOOP. THE TRAIL CROSSES THE KAUKONAHUA STREAM TWICE. THE AMOUNT OF TOWERING TREES THAT CONSTANTLY SURROUNDS THE AREA MAKES THIS TRAIL UNIQUE.
