Best hiking in kahana valley in Hawaii

Ahupuaʻa ʻO Kahana State Park is a unique and culturally rich park located on the windward side of O’ahu in Hawaii. This park is one of the few publicly owned ahupuaʻa, or ancient Hawaiian land divisions, in the state. Spanning nearly 5,300 acres from sea level at Kahana Bay to 2,670 feet at Puʻu Pauao on the Koʻolau mountains, Kahana is known for its lush landscapes and traditional Hawaiian cultural sites. Visitors to the park can explore remnants of Hawaiian culture such as a heiau (religious temple), koʻa (fishing shrines), fishponds, house sites, agricultural terraces, and more. The park also offers two hiking trails, the Kapa’ele’ele Ko’a and Keaniani Lookout Trail, and the Nakoa Trail, both providing scenic views and opportunities to immerse in the natural beauty of the valley.
