The main trail straightens out and is wide and sandy in spots. Pass more silverswords on the left. Again, continue straight toward Kapalaoa Cabin. Reach another signed junction. Continue straight on the main trail.
Water is available from a tank in back.
Boil, filter or chemically treat the water. No tent camping is allowed. After leaving the cabin, the vegetation gradually reappears. It briefly parallels an eroded gully on the right. Watch for loose rock on the trail.
