USGS 7.5′ Topographic Maps of Oahu

If shopping on the Internet doesn’t appeal to you, you can reach the USGS at (800) 275-8747 (800-ASK-USGS) or write or call the national center:

USGS National Center

12201 Sunrise Valley Drive

Reston, Virgina 20192

(703) 648-4000

Or there may be a store near you that specializes in maps, though most retailers carry only maps for their local area. Look in your local Yellow Pages under “Maps.” Call ahead to find out if they carry topos of Hawaii.

Getting Permits or Permission

Dayhiking permits

The trip descriptions in this book include information about what permits you need (if any) and to whom you should apply for them.

There is no backpacking to speak of on Oahu for the visitor from the mainland (and not much for anyone else, either—ssss1). You don’t need to worry about or plan for backpacking and backcountry camping permits on Oahu.

Several dayhikes do require permits from the Division of Forestry and Wildlife. You must go into downtown Honolulu to the Division of Forestry and Wildlife to get those permits. Depending on the trail, the Division of Forestry and Wildlife is acting as the agent for hiking trails under its own control or it may be acting on behalf of another property owner or owners.
