We did the Canyon trail. It was moderate, not easy. There are places where it’s a little steep and slippery. There were times when I wondered what the heck I was doing. But once it was over, I realized it was not that long and it was not that bad. I’m glad I did it. But I would think it’s best when there hasn’t been any recent rain. You can look up more info about that trail. It’s very popular. Now that I know what to expect, I would do it again !

No, I do not recommend this hike. The warning signs are there for a reason.

It wasn't closed when we went either, back in Sept 2018. It does get muddy when it rains (even lightly), though, so bring good shoes!

Yes it is. We were to do it in December 2017, but forecast had said rain. We drove to the North shore to do beaches instead and it didn't rain till afternoon, but it was too late for us to do to the beach at the 2 mile mark because it was late am and we only had sandals when we thought maybe we'd try a bit of it. Then we discovered there are huge boulders starting out for quite a distance and figured if it were to rain and we had to head back early then it would be very treacherous. I don't know if the trail is still open to hike since the flooding in spring 2018 wiped out the roads after hanalei bay towards the trail. I was there in June 2018 and only locals could go past hanalei bay. Single road highway up to there. The lookout I got to see was from the other side by Kokee and Waimea canyon.

hi! i dont think, it s very easy to access with a car:-)
