If you want a quick and easy hike, take the family to manoa falls trail. In less than a mile, you'll be rewarded with a waterfall with an impressive height of 150 ft. While there is a pool, it has been cabled off due to recent rockslides. Along the way, though, the tall canopied trees of the lush manoa valley are a sight to see...you'll even spot a bamboo forest.
most of the trail is covered.

if you hike after rain, the trail can get muddy and slippery.
