Kealia Trail is the gnarliest downhill trail on Oahu. Rocky, tight switchbacks, cliffs, prepare to be tested. It's also a popular hiking trail so be sure to yield and be polite. Most of the hikers are stoked to see mountain bikers and can't believe anyone would be crazy enough to ride it.
Access Info
You can access it quickly by parking at the Dillingham Airfield Tower. Most folks reach it by riding around the ridge and coming down it from the top.
