The Hawaiʻi Nature Center in north Makiki is the starting point for several valley trails and teaches about the islands' environment. The Makiki Valley Trail winds through dense forest past ferns and tree arches, and can be linked to the Kanealole and Maunalaha trails to form a loop. It's an easy, lush jungle escape with stream crossings and varied trees, suitable for families and dog walkers.
