| The road is still drivable (with a four wheel SUV), but the old one lane bridges have been bypassed with paved stream crossings, making the current road impassable when there is a hard rain as you can see above where there is a view of the old bridge and then the split where that bridge is now a heavily overgrown path on the right and the paved stream crossing is on the left (it is looking back on the trail). Here you can see a view from the trail of a valley where they have power lines crossing the ridge with long runs between the stanchions. Below is another split across one of the streams and a bridge that is hardly overgrown (still well paved). |

| Further along the trail they no longer had bridges across the streams but it was still quite pretty. |

| Above is a picture of one of those streams. They are mostly gulches with lots of rocks (at least when it is not raining). There was a warning at the start of the trail to beware of flash floods so those gulches would look a lot different after a heavy rain. Here is another picture the paved road crossing another gulch from one of the old bridges (on the way back). |

| Just outside of Moanalua Valley Park there were a couple of houses being built. They call them stick houses (what I would call wood frame houses) and I noticed that these houses do not have the particle board covering the frame to stiffen the frame like is so common in Portland, OR. |
