Nov 3, 2024 @ 1:34am Nov 3, 2024 | mtb Overgrown vegetation - Rode this in the uphill direction, and it was quite difficult to even locate the trail in several sections. Needs quite a bit of of maintenance (looked like some was underway, but would not ride it again unless significant work was done. Lots of hike a bike sections, saw some pigs and evidence of many more. This would be a challenging trail in the DH direction, very rough going uphill especially given the current trail conditions. | Dry | view | |||
Jun 23, 2024 @ 6:32pm Jun 23, 2024 | hike This a great hike when it hot down at sea level. I left our accommodations it was 82 degrees . At trail head the temp was 67. The trail has a full canopy and is at a high altitude. We did only part of the loop due to time restrictions. Trail is very well maintained. Mountain bike do use the trail but it is mostly hiking. | Dry | view | |||

Nov 3, 2021 @ 9:40am Nov 3, 2021 | mtb Deep sand in spots, major erosion in others. I rode a checkpoint with ReneHerse Hirricane ridge 43c tires at a slow pace to be safe. Today this elevation was in the clouds further requiring reduced speeds due to low visibility. Further down the road was peaceful and pavement decent out of the reserve was as fast as you are comfortable with. | Very Dry | view | |||

Jun 25, 2021 @ 9:14pm Jun 25, 2021 | mtb It's a hiking trail that you can ride a bike on (in some sections). We did it as part of the skyline DH and it does add a bit of "adventure, experience and vertical" but it is NOT a mountain bike trail. | Dry | view | |||
Dec 13, 2020 @ 12:46pm Dec 13, 2020 | mtb There is a ton of hike a bike on this trail. The grade is pretty mellow but where there are technical pieces they are VERY technical and many are not remotely rideable. I ended up bailing out up the Waiohuli hiking trail because Boundry was really overgrown with thorny bushes. | Dry | view | |||

Dec 31, 2018 @ 2:21am Dec 31, 2018 | mtb Access the trail from Poli Poli Springs. The Boundary Trail is accessed from the Redwood trail which is a pretty amazing grove of tall Redwoods that is a technical ride downhill over MANY roots. Very rideable, but would be difficult when wet. Pick up the Boundary trail at the interesection of the Redwood and Plum Trails (hiking only back to Poli Poli Springs). It is clearly marked. Riding the Boundary Trail is a misnomer. Approximately 25% of the entire trail is un-rideable due to downed trees, limbs and overgrown vegetation = hike a bike! Although, the sections that are rideable are great. That's not the real problem though - there is so much wild pig activity on the trail that it is difficult to go very far without dismounting to push through the VERY loose soil. I did hear pigs and you can definitely smell them. If I were a hunter, I would be all over this area! The worst parts are .5 miles away from the Redwood trail to the intersection with the Lower Waiohuli trail. The trail is good for about a mile and then gets terrible with wild pig rooting/erosion for about .75 miles. The last .5 mile of the trail is steep but rideable. | Variable | view | |||
