The one bummer about this trail is that one must park a goodly ways downslope from the trailhead or risk being towed away. I took a chance and parked near where the chain across the road is and luckily found my vehicle still there when I returned. Rorie has this fixation on Pu'u Kalena and has been up to it several times recently. If you head up Schofield way to try this trail, be careful.
Some folks even go as far as leaving their vehicle unlocked.
Whatever the case, be aware of the rip-off possibility. On Sunday morning, we'll make our way along the Koolau Summit Trail and then descend the Schofield-Waikane trail, clearing it as we go. Members of the Hawaiian Trail and Mountain Club trail maintenance crew will be working their way up Schofield-Waikane starting at around 8am and we'll hook up with them at some point in the day. If Pat and I reach the summit of S-W early enough, we may do some exploration of the summit trail toward Kipapa in preparation for a future hike up Kipapa and down the Waikane Trail to the windward side. My next hike will be Konahuanui.
