If you’re looking for an island adventure that’s free, family friendly and gets you into the great outdoors, here’s a resource you’ll want to know about. The Na Ala Hele Trail System website gives you information about various well known trails you can hike on every island. Not only will it give you directions to the trailheads but it tells you the length of the trail, the approximate time it will take you to walk the trail under normal conditions, the type of terrain you will encounter, whether its a pedestrian, bicycle or some other trail type, its elevation and difficulty. It also gives you tips on the type of clothing you’d need to wear, if camping is permitted and if facilities are available. As with any activity you do, DO NOT leave valuables in your car when you begin your hike.

This website can prove to be a valuable resource whether you’re a visitor or a local. Click here to go to their trail safety tips all people should know.
