Access the Pu'u Hapapa trail from KoleKole Pass. Trailhead up to Pu'u Hapapa is not marked, but it's easy to spot on the left side of the field clearing just before the KoleKole lookout. The short but steep climb up is worth it.
Short climb to Upper Makua Caves is worth the trek to the northwest part of Oahu. Park in lot just past mile marker 17 off of Farrington Highway. Trailhead is right next to the speed limit sign across the street.

Condo worked out great. Great location right on the beach, clean and well stocked. On-site management (Kim) was very responsive whenever we had questions. The homeless camps in the area were a bit of a downer but all n all a great stay.
