Crouching Lion

Crouching Lion is a summit on the Kahana map of the Hawaiʻi Board on Geographic Names, and the Crouching Lion Trail is in Kaʻaʻawa. The Honolulu Fire Department calls the route the Puʻu Manamana (Crouching Lion) Trail. It has airlifted out lost hikers who could not find the trailhead after a long day of hiking. Hikes like this call for care: start early, carry plenty of water and a light, tell someone your plan, and turn back well before dark or if the weather turns.
