9. Trail to Kahana Beach. 
10. Kahana to Honolulu. 
To make the trip, from the other direction — i. e., Kahana to 
Wahiawa, would be a hazardous venture, not to be attempted 
without careful planning, and an ample time allowance. 
ITINERARY. 
The time element is a very important factor in a trip of 
this kind. The schedule of my first trip was as follows : 
Left Honolulu, 3 :15 p. m. 
Ar. Wahiawa, 6:30 p. m. (eating a cold supper on the 
train). 
Left Wahiawa immediately, traveled the ditch trail by 
lantern light — a procedure which I should not advise other‘s 
to attempt, there are many dangerous places along the trail — 
and arrived at Headgate Cabin at 10:30 p. m. 
Left Headgate Cabin at 7 a. m. 
Ar. Summit of Koolau Ridge, 12 M. 
Ar. at deserted native house in Kahana Valley at 6:30 
p. m., after over eleven hours of almost continuous tramping. 
Spent the night here, leaving at 6 a. m., and arriving at 
Kahana R. R. station at 7 :30 a. m. 
Left Kahana on 12 M. train, arriving in Honolulu at 5 :30 
p. m., the entire trip thus being combated over two days. 
The schedule of my second trip, with fifty heavily-laden 
soldiers, is as follows : 
Left Honolulu, 10:20 a. m. 
Ar. Wahiawa, 12 M. 
Left Wahiawa, 12 M. 
Ar. Headgate Cabin, 5 p. m. 
Left Headgate Cabin, 5 :45 a. m. 
Ar. Summit Koolau Ridge, 12 :30 p. m. 
Along Summit Koolau Ridge until 6 p. m. 
Leave Summit Koolau Ridge, 5 a. m. 
Ar. Kahana Stream, 12 :30 p. m. 
Ar. Kahana Beach, 4 p. m. 
The schedule which I should advise, and which is quite 
possible under present conditions, is this : 
Leave Honolulu, 10:20 a. m. 
Ar. Wahiawa, 12 M. 
Leave Wahiawa 12:30 or 1 p. m. 
Ar. Headgate, 5 p. m.
