| Water down to a trickle in the hot months |
DATE: 9 June, 2010
TOTAL TIME: 1 hr
DIFFICULTY: Easy
PARTICIPANTS: Myself
REHIKE VALUE: 2
As with most waterfalls in the ‘summer,’ this one was down to a trickle and the water was stagnant. There were landslide warning signs posted around the pool, but since they weren't meant for me, heh, I climbed over the chains to take closer pictures of the falls.

| Yes, this is what most of the trail looks like |
For those who want to avoid the $5 parking fee at the trailhead, you can park by the street outside Paradise Park. It adds about an eighth of a mile to your walk (ooooh), but come on people, I’ve seen people do this walk in heels. The trail is mostly flat anyway, albeit muddy, and there is barely any elevation gain.

| Constant rain keeps the terrain pretty moist |
 |
| Large tree roots line parts of the trail making great benches on this 'strenuous' hike |
Right before the falls, you may take a left on ‘Aihualama-‘Ohi’a trail which takes you up to the summit of Tantalus, and connects with a series of trails known as the Tantilizer. That would be the only reason for me to make a return trip here ... unless of course, as with all my outings with low rehike values, a super hot chick in a revealing outfit begged me to take her. To the waterfall, you gutter minded people.

| Wooden walkways help make this easy hike even easier |
