    You can come to the hike, the potluck or both. MODERATE LEVEL HIKE    Distance (Roundtrip): 0.6 miles / 1.0 km At only 0.3 miles (0.5 km) each way, the Crouching Lion Trail is, without a doubt, one of the best sunrise hikes on Oʻahu! Crouching Lion Trailhead Parking Parking for the Crouching Lion Trailhead is located in a small dirt lot on the right-hand side of Kamehameha Highway, just before Kahana Bay Beach Park when coming from Kāneʻohe, or on the left after the beach park when coming from the North Shore.

Know that if the east side of Oʻahu has been receiving a lot of rain, these lower elevations on the Crouching Lion Trail can be very muddy and slippery. Not long […]
