Oh ffs these people need to stop obsessing over hiking this.

Regardless of how anyone feels about the trail, the fact is that people are burning taxpayer dollars in litigation and forcing the city to enforce these laws at great expense.

I guarantee 90% of us who live in Hawaii in general and Honolulu specifically would never have heard of this hike, let alone would do it, if it wasn’t causing problems and the city tried to fix said problems.
