The trail starts at the end of the Camp 10 Road. It crosses Mohihi Stream and follows Kohua Ridge into the Alakai Wilderness Preserve, within Nā Pali-Kona Forest Reserve. The trail is occasionally maintained up to the U.S.G.S. rain gauge at the 2.5 mile marker. The route continues to the Koaie Stream but this route is not maintained. The rivers get dangerously high during rainy weather. The trail serves mostly as a hunter access route.
