This hike is moderate if there has been no rain. If it is raining or rained recently it will be a slippery mud slide. There are hiking sticks at the beginning of the trail people leave behind and I…Full review by MichelleC9052014

Hello! I am not familiar with the new spur trail so I would recommend you read up on it. From all of our three weeks in Kauai, we found that the earlier we arrived, the better our chances were of finding parking.
