Aloha James,
The other way up the ridge is through the farm side, but you may have to tread carefully as there may be some issues there as well.

Where is the alternate trailhead located? I was thinking about going with some friends but don’t want to mess around in the Heiau. Thanks!

Aloha Suzanne,
Yes, it’s such a shame that more and more hiking trails are becoming off limits. There is another way in the back of the Hawaii Kai neighborhood. Yes the gate was installed by Bishop Estate many years ago, claiming it was a dangerous trail, which is a joke as it was the easiest trail by far to reach the Ko’olau Summit. I emailed you some general directions. You’re welcome to come hike with us.

Aloha, My friend and I had wanted to hike Kamiloiki Ridge. As a girl , we d enter to the left of the Heiau, but there is a sign now that says No Hiking. It’s so depressing. As a young person I ve been all over these ridges, and now in my 50s (my second childhood), many of the access points are off limits????. What do you mean by “bypassed the heiau” ? Is there another trailhead somewhere. And do you have to go all the way to Hahaione? There’s a gate now blocking the Mariners Ridge trailhead????. (A bit anxious about Chevy Hill.). Anyway, I know you said you weren’t a hiking guide, so no worries if you don’t want to ans. Perhaps a tip on who we might contact to get information via State of Hawai’i approved information., or a formal hiking club we might join? Thank you. Your photos are inspiring. Best, Suzanne Egan
