The weekday road closure is necessary for public safety due to presence of heavy equipment doing maintenance on the mountainous, four mile unimproved dirt road through the lush forest of Kamananui Valley.

Trail closure signs will be posted and a trails specialist will initially be at the trailhead to inform arriving hikers.   The trail will be open on weekends and State Holidays.  The trail will also be open on weekdays from 2 p.m. until sundown.
