Today we will be clearing the Likeke Trail which was named after it's builder Richard Davis of the Hawai`i Trail and Mountain Club. Likeke is Hawaiian for Richard. The trail in its original routing crossed from the Pali Highway to the Likelike Highway beneath the towering Ko`olau Palis. Since the Likelike end parking lot has been closed by the State of Hawaii the HTMC has rerouted the hike and made a loop out of it. The trail now begins and ends in the Ho`omaluhia Botanical garden There is a bit of paved road walking near the end of the hike. The below maps will show you how to get or at least how I got to the garden from Wai`anae.
