This hike was a bit tricky. Not the trail itself it was easy to follow except it had been raining off and on the last 2 days. I wanted to do it before leaving for the Big Island. The few difficulties were making way through muddy, narrow trail cuts at parts and the dam crossing. It had rained while I was hiking which could make the stream rise and run too swiftly to cross until after the rain stops, fortunately this didn’t happen. The trail was clearly marked beginning to end, I was more worried about my new I-phone getting wet. Trying to keep my feet somewhat dry was a wasted effort as much of the trail during and after the rain was a sloppy mess. Finished when I thought I would on the drive back stopped for a carry out dinner to eat back at the apartment. Dry and warm, me, not the dinner.
