Shuttle trips: You start at one trailhead and finish at another, “destination” trailhead. The trailheads are far enough apart, or walking between them is sufficiently impractical, that you need to have a car or a ride waiting for you at the destination trailhead.

Terrain type

Icons give you a general idea of the kind of terrain you’ll be walking. Some hikes offer mixed terrain; for them, I’ve tried to indicate the terrain type where you’ll spend the most walking time:

Inland; hilly or mountainous

Near or at the ocean, such as along a beach or on cliffs above the sea

Location

The Oahu clock shows the hike’s approximate location relative to the rest of Oahu.

Distance

The distance is the total distance you have to walk.

Elevation gain

This figure is the approximate net elevation change between the hike’s highest and lowest points.

Hiking time

This is based on my normal hiking speed, which is a blazing 2 miles per hour.

Topos

The topo or topos listed here are the ones that cover the area you’ll be hiking in on this particular trip. As all the listed topos are 7½′ topos, I haven’t bothered to repeat “7½” for each listing. Topos are strictly optional for the very easy and easy trips but are strongly recommended for the other trips.
