HAFP Wellness Hike
2022-11-13 09:00 - 12:00 UTC | 45-550 Kionaole Rd, Kaneohe, HI 96744, 45-550 Kionaole Rd, Kaneohe, HI
Please join HAFP for a Wellness Hike on Sunday, November 13th at 9:00 AM.
Come explore the Old Pali Road on a lush hike from the FPC Hawaii/Koolau Ballrooms parking lot up to the Pali Lookout! We welcome you to bring your ‘ohana and keiki to join.
Location:
45-550 Kionaole Rd, Kaneohe, HI 96744
If using google maps, we recommend using the Likeke Falls trailhead rather than the Old Pali Road trailhead for simplicity! https://goo.gl/maps/3MCTDrB8aqDHLvzZ9

Parking:
For safety and potential risk of getting a ticket/towed, we recommend parking in the church parking lot, farthest from the building. Parking is $10 FLAT RATE. When planning your commute, please keep in mind it will be Sunday, with church services starting at 8 AM and 10 AM.
What to bring:
We will provide a limited amount of snacks and water, but please bring any water and snacks you and your family may need, sunscreen, and your preferred hiking shoes.
What to expect:
8:45 AM Meet up in the church parking lot, at the Likeke Falls Trailhead (see red X in map photo above)
9:05 AM Group will depart from the trailhead
11:30 AM Group will return to the parking lot
The hike difficulty is rated as easy/moderate and is 3.1-mile out-and-back hike up to the Pali Look-out, along the mostly paved Old Pali Road. There is an offshoot to Likeke falls that we will not be doing together as a group, but interested parties are welcome to explore on their own on the way down! There is one section that requires adults to crouch slightly when passing under Pali highway (see photo below), and a short ladder to climb just beyond that (photo), but the remainder of the hike requires minimal special skill. We welcome all ages and fitness levels to join us!
