Twin Falls
Just after mile marker 2 on Hwy 360, a wide parking area with a fruit stand marks the
start of the 1.1 mile trail (one-way) to Twin Falls. The pleasant, mostly level trail unfurls
through a lush strand of tropical trees, passing one small waterfall before ending at Twin
Falls and a swimming hole. Not quite half a mile in, follow a short path to your left to the
stream's edge then down to a small cascade. On the main trail, cross a stream then turn
left at the unmarked trail junction just ahead. Continue a short distance then climb over
the aqueduct. Look straight ahead for the twin falls. It's a beauty. You will have to wade
through the stream to reach the pool. Turn around if the water is too high.
We saw smashed glass in the overflow parking lot, just beyond the juice stand. Take
valuables with you as a precaution. Obey all signs on the gated trailhead. The area can be
hit by flash floods. Arrive before 9:30am to nab a spot in the main lot.

Huelo
With its abundant rain and fertile soil Huelo once supported more than 50,000 Hawaii-
ans, but today it's a sleepy, scattered community of farms and enviable cliffside homes.
The double row of mailboxes and green bus shelter that come up after a blind curve
0.5 miles past mile marker 3 marks the start of the narrow road that leads into the village.
The only sight, Kaulanapueo Church, is a half-mile down.
It's tempting to continue driving past the church, but don't bother - it's not rewarding,
as the road shortly turns to dirt and dead-ends at gated homes. There's no public beach
access.
