The ride to Koloiki Ridge follows along a path past the community cemetery where it connects with the Munro trail. You’ll pass through forest growth, including strawberry guava, iron wood, Brazilian pepper trees, and eucalyptus trees. Expect some steep descents and ascents. You will pass by a variety of plants and hear bird calls. Most common are the Shama thrush (magpie robin) and the Brazilian and Northern cardinals. Sparrows, turkeys, and axis deer may also by seen. Once you reach the overlook you’ll be treated to vistas into Maunalei Valley, across the slopes of Lana’i, and out to the islands of Maui and Moloka’i. Remain on the trail at all times. Watch for other trail users and axis deer. Proceed at your own risk if wet road conditions exist.
