Name: Pauoa Flats Trail via Telephone Road (Intermediate)
Start: 2024-11-23T09:00:00-10:00
End: 2024-11-23T12:00:00-10:00

This hike is similar to the Thursday night hikes I usually do, but we will extend it a little bit to Pauoa Flats. We will start the hike heading up Telephone road, connect into Manoa Cliffs, and then to Pauoa Flats. We will take Pauoa Flats to Kalawahine on the way back.

This will be a BRISK intermediate level hike. We usually keep a good pace and participants will be expected to keep pace. I rate it as intermediate because of the climb up Telephone Road and the chance for slippery mud on the dirt trails.

I generally make this hike a little more difficult for myself by wearing a weighted vest - you can do the same thing by packing extra water in your pack.

Dogs are allowed but must be kept on leash the entire hike. If you cannot keep your dog on leash, you will be asked to leave your dog at home.

Elevation Gain: \~800’
Distance: 3.5 miles round trip

Meeting Time & Place: 8:45 at the parking area for the Kalawahine Trailhead. If the parking lot is still closed, there is roadside parking just past Kalawahine Trailhead. We will begin hiking by 9:00 promptly.

Message me (Randall) via meetup if you have any questions.

Please bring water, appropriate footwear (hiking shoes), a snack if you get hungry, extra weight for your pack (water) if you want to burn some extra calories. Also, do not forget to bring a gung-ho attitude!

Safety Tips for Hiking:
Inform a friend of your route and your expected time of return. Never hike alone or go beyond your capability. Always bring water, a basic first aid kit, and rain gear, just in case. Do not drink stream water - it contains biological impurities

STAY ON THE TRAIL. YOU WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR HEALTH AND SAFETY Plan your hike by knowing the terrain to be covered, the length of the trail, weather conditions, time of day, and hazards along the hike. Allow ample time to return before nightfall by figuring 1.5 miles per hour. Carry proper equipment, including a first aid kit and plenty of water. Wear appropriate footwear and clothing. Stay on the designated trail and be extra cautious when crossing streams and walking on wet, slippery trails or loose, crumbly soil or rock. Hike in a group and keep track of those in your party.
