Aiea Loop Trail W/Plane wreckage Oahu hikes

 Aiea Loop Trail


Did this hike with a new meetup.com group. Started in the lower trail and made our way back to the top trail.

WW II Plane wreckage


Or whatever's left of it. Too bad people couldn't resist in tearing and scavenging the plane apart. From what I heard if you hike down that slope, you may find some additional engine/plane parts. Maybe next time since I was in a group. 

The famous H3 pic



The path to Kalauao Falls?








Found on the beginning top part of the trail


So it was a nice 2.5 hr hike overall though it rained on and off so it was muddy. You get to see the H3 and see a small part of the plane wreckage if you simply stay on the path. From what I gathered, you do need to hike down that slope to find extra bits and pieces of the plane. When you reach the top part of the loop (this is where people usually begin the hike though we did the bottom first), you find the memorial plaque for those that perished in the wreckage. Also if you started at the top, you will find a pathway to your left about 15 mins in. I do believe that is the path to Kalauao falls which is another 3-4 hr hike I heard. Anyhow, have a nice day.
