Kamehame Ridge Hike is one of our favorites because it's easy and has a big pay off. It's great for an afternoon/evening stroll with the puppies or early morning walk to start the day before the weather gets too hot. The trail begins at the top of Kamehame Ridge. Park your car on the street and squeeze in between the holes in the gate leading to the paved road up the hill. Sometimes cars drive up this hill because the ending destination is a popular launching pad for hang-gliders. After passing by "Winner's Camp" there will be a pink marker on the right side of the path, which leads to the carpeted launching spot. From there, you can see beautiful views of Waimanalo and Rabbit Island.

If you continue up the road past the pink ribbon, you will find electrical towers and small buildings. If you walk through the gate to these towers and around the side, you will find another destination: marked "The Dead Man's Cat Walk". It's a cement strip that literally curves off the side of the ridge. It's a cool spot for a photo op:
