We're going for a hike on Hawaii's Manoa Cliff Trail. It is one of the great hiking spots in Honolulu, on Oahu in Hawaii.

Today I'm sending you a video postcard from my home in Honolulu, Hawaii. We are going to take a hike in the mountains, looking out over Manoa Valley.
This view gives you a good summary of the walking conditions on the trail. It's really quite easy, mostly level dirt.
In this Google Earth view you can see that Waikiki is just a few miles from the mountains, and you hop in your car and drive up the hill, you'll soon reach the beginning of the Manoa Cliff trail where the hike begins.
Zooming into Manoa Valley with the mountains around it, we gain a clear view looking at the route we will take on the hike. It goes along the side of the ridge. That's why it's called the Manoa Cliff trail.
The easy route getting there is along Round Top Drive. It's a nice scenic, curving road. When you get to the address 4059 on Round Top you have arrived. Enter the trail directly from the road.
Quite the dramatic and beautiful location and it's an easy hike. You could walk in and back out again in less than two hours. Signage marks the entrance and cautions you not to fall off the cliff. Take normal precautions and you'll be just fine.
It's very close to town, takes maybe 20 minutes to drive up here, and then you park your car along the road and you enter right through the gateway here into the Manoa Cliff trail, two miles long, quite level and gives you some wonderful views down into the Manoa Valley as well as a lovely forest hike. So let's go check it out.
All right were going, going up the trail, and it is a very easy trail, nice forest floor, leaves and the few roots and today there's no mud. We're lucky because it is not been raining lately. If it's a rainy day, better to not come up here. It will be a little muddy. You don't need that. But on a day when there's been no rain, and especially here, there's been no rain for the last couple of days, which is un pretty usual. Manoa and the mountains are pretty much a rainy area. But when there's been no rain, it's choice. And already as soon as you enter the trail it's just beautiful.
