Ka Papa Cedar Trail Description
While the Ka Papa Cedar Trail may only be a small hiking loop, it is big on forest scenery and fun terrain. The trail sets out from the parking area and enters into the thick forest cover before crossing over a small creek and beginning the short loop. The route winds for 1.3mi through a beautiful stretch of old-growth cedar forest and allows hikers to gain a stronger appreciation for these massive, ancient trees that characterize the landscape. Along the trail, you can expect a mix of terrain that includes bridge crossings, dirt paths, stairs, and slightly more technical sections of rocks and roots that make for an exciting and fun day out in the woods. After wrapping up the quick loop, follow the trail over the creek and back towards the parking lot to return to your vehicle.
